That was 14 years ago, the old gear disparity was much different than current WOW.
This post can bring you up to speed on how the new balanced BFA gear scaling system works. Observe the power creep within the progression of gear within the brackets.

Here are some images to compare the stat differences within the 39 bracket.

Interesting stat difference here.
The gearing system for lower levels is amazingly balanced as the numbers show.

Fact: Gearing is indeed at its most balanced mathematically for lower levels.
Compare for science.
