Are you running X-Plane 11 with some terrain mods or something? I'm clicking through some Youtube videos of it and the terrain in X-Plane isn't even close to what's in this MSFS video.

I was only pointing out that the new MSFS has whole-planet terrain and many thousands airports, like X-Plane.

Whether the terrain looks better or not I don't know and frankly don’t care that much, it probably heavily depends on the setup as well.

I heard clouds in MSFS look better. If its weather doesn’t momentarily glitch out as it is being updated in accordance with real-life conditions, like what happens in X-Plane sometimes, that’d be nice to have too.
