Maybe has something to do with the guy behind the wheel, maybe?

Never said Hamilton isn't a spectacular driver. I'm not in the [majority] crew needing to shit on people to lift others up. These guys are all amazing...Except Latifi. I just can't get on board with him...
But, Bottas is faster than Hamilton on semi-regular(ish) basis, and we haven't seen anyone even close to Max's pace in a similar car. I'm not even a Verstappen fan so don't treat me like a fanatic.
And yes I know I'm referring to speed over overall skill, but total package is something that develops over more years. Look at Hamilton's early years - fast as lightning but making many more errors and appearing much more clumsy/overzealous in comparison to his current form.
