I agree, although it's a bit early to fully evaluate the peak levels of most of McDavid's top competition. As others have pointed out, it wasn't really competition that ended up limiting Lindros.
I don't think he has it super easy, although he didn't have the toughest competition in 2017 & 2018. Kucherov & Draisaitl beat him out for Rosses in 2019 & 2020. MacKinnon & Panarin are decent depth competition for scoring race, and it's always possible Kane, Crosby or Malkin has a "last hurrah" type of season, although I wouldn't expect that at this point.
I'd say the current competition for scoring race is pretty typical of the post-WHA era. Since O6 expansion, there have been some easier periods (early 70s for Espo/Orr... 2002-2004... and 2011-2018(?), depending on from whose perspective we're looking at competition).
While Crosby may have had better peak scoring peers than McDavid has so far, like Lindros it wasn't those top peers that really limited him (the exception being 2009). It was injuries and/or players like Henrik Sedin, St. Louis, Stamkos, Benn, Tavares, etc. that finished ahead of him from 2010 to 2016 (ages 22 to 28... typical peak years). He finished tied of second in 2016, but when you score less than 90 points in a peak year, you can't just blame the competition.
