The "bar" has only been raised with the creators of the Boruto anime and manga. If it had kept with the same creator then they would not be, the new writers have a bad habit of making the new generation seem stronger than they should be.

For example the ninja of Madara and Hashirama's time were stronger than the ones from naruto's generation--because they were raised in constant battle and war. It was only sasuke and naruto in particular that went far above the bar and that was partly because of power that they received from the sage of six paths. And that won't happen again. Those two had to fight a world war and beat the three strongest beings in the world (jinchuriki madara, 10 tails, and Kaguya)--the bar won't get higher than that. That's probably why the original creator didn't really want to keep going after the Boruto movie, boruto's story was more of an after story of the biggest events in that world's history.

Also I would say the storytelling is definitely worse with the new writers.
