They [The Beatles] weren't "going" prog, they were inventing it.
User @jamescox42317 d explaining to producer and composer Isaac Brown what the Beatles really did.
Brown has a series of videos of him reacting to hearing every Beatles album for the first time. (Thank you for making me feel old as f%$#, dude!)
While listening to, "Happiness is a Warm Gun," Brown says, "What the heck is this, Prog Rock? Hey, The Beatles are going Prog!" (about 27:10 of Part 1 below)
Over the span of less than a decade, the Fab Four literally redefined rock and roll.

Part2:
FWIW, I do agree with Brown's basic thesis, which is that White Album is less an album than it is a collection of songs from 4 amazingly talented dudes.
It is a chaotic magnificent masterpiece, and my favorite Beatles album.
