I'd suggest that your perception is skewed by the bar of what is considered "great" being raised with each passing decade / generation.Globally footballers are shitter now than they were 20+ odd years ago. You can name 5/6 genuenly great current players. Back then there were loads, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Figo, Zidane, Del Piero, Totti, Batistuta, Klivert, Raul etc etc
For example, you've mentioned Kluivert, but I would put Kane, Haaland, Benzema and Lewandowski above him in a heartbeat. Haaland, at only 22 years old, has already scored more goals in professional football than Kluivert managed in his entire career!
