To expand on this, let me point something out (from the PoV of someone who quit after MoP and didn’t get back til BFA). From my understanding, Legion had stat templates that made gear slightly less of a big deal. BFA had PvP scaling (i.e a 50k RSK from my screen would inflict a 20k RSK on someone else’s screen to better cater to their lower ilvl). Until S4 of BFA, gear was a big thing but not NEARLY as much as Shadowlands. Let me continue to elaborate: every single season of Shadowlands, they have nerfed the armor of gear by 12%. This is actually HUGE, and not something people tend to realize or consider. Add to that the fact they removed PvP scaling (because bugs that they couldn’t be bothered to sort out), and yeah, I’d say the gearing issue in PvP right now is WAY bad.
