To me, that is some pretty generous logic to say that manufactured rarities from 100 years were more pure because manufacturers were just trying to scam collectors with cards that were impossible (or virtually impossible) to attain.
The lack of set collecting today isn't better or worse; it is just how the hobby has evolved.
Manufactured rarity is manufactured rarity, be it in 2020 or 1920.
