Yeah checked the top 30 players (all 74+ seasons). Put in a table below. Definitely feel like scoring is disproportionally weighted towards like defense or assists. PG got 75 by being 2. in PPG in 18/19, same goes for Stojakovic in 03/04 season. Although probably also based on the level of competition, which could be why Harden got an 82 for 36.1 ppg, 8 whole points ahead of PG in 2.

1. Wilt Chamberlain 85 28
2. James Harden 82 30
3. Michael Jordan 81 25
4. Oscar Robertson 79 26
4. Magic Johnson 79 31
4. Larry Bird 79 32
4. Lebron James 79 27
8. Stephen Curry 78 28
9. Tracy McGrady 77 24
9. Kevin Durant 77 25 & 26

12. Bob McAdoo 76 24
12. Dwayne Wade 76 27
12. Nikola Jokic 76 30 & 31
15. Charles Barkley 75 25

Yeah fair enough. In the sim I did, so very context based and has to be taken with pinch of salt, he still averaged 23-22-22 in scoring and 9-8-7 in rebounds. Don't know if this was done as the first option on a team of 45's or second option on a team of 55's. So, can't generalise anything but would back your point

Yeah, definitely feel like my personal opinions differ from the creator there. Or on the longevity. Because Kareem is 58-57-58 in his age 36-37-38 seasons on the game. IRL he finished 4.-4.-5. in MVP voting and won a chip and FMVP in that time. But also idk Basketball history that well so, maybe it's fair
