All the people you cite were exceptional people even in their generation. The saying doesn't refer to specific people. However i think it's clearly proven that between Hashirama's and Naruto's generations, the intermediate generations didn't accomplish much other than 3 ninja world wars.

Similarly, Kaguya established world peace. Indra's generation established world war. In between that and Hashirama we don't know much, but it clearly got worse.
