>most teams having real shot at championship.

Um. Yeah. No. In the last 10 seasons, 4 different teams have won titles. One of those have won it 6 times.

Here is not a sport debate forum but,

The amount of competition is Higher in Premier League. Teams like brentford or Brighton play top-tier football although they have no chance winning the title.

Arsenal is a complete loser, If Liverpool was instead of them in the title races of 22/23 and 23/24 they would have more chance.

Sorry, my English failed me: I meant "most" as in "more teams compared to other leagues", not "almost every Premiership team".

Also, 4 different champions in the last 10 years is the most diverse of all major leagues. Bundesliga has Bayern winning 12 of the last 13 titles, Ligue 1 has PSG winning 10 of the last 12. In Spain the title basically alternates between Real and Barcelona, with Atletico winning 2 titles in the past 20 years.
