I mean, that's the difference between a star level talent and an MVP level talent. While I do agree with your position that Domas is underrated in his excellence, and that he's closer in talent level to Nikola Jokic than many observers may think, I also don't really see an MVP in waiting when I watch Domas play. Somebody mentioned earlier that Jokic makes the game look so easy. This is eye test stuff, but when you watch Jokic put up 30/15/10 on any given night, it usually doesn't seem like he had to sweat that much to do it. The guy is an absolute savant. He doesn't even want to score all that much, but seems to do so with ease because his team needs him to be that guy. Sabonis, on the other hand, really has to fight out there for every single point.
Again, this is eye test stuff, but I rarely get the sense that scoring comes easy for Domas. He bullies his way to the rim. He gets clobbered. He gets smacked around. The ball bounces all over and hangs on the rim before it goes in. If he's fouled, he's not very consistent from the line. He scores ugly. And style points aside, it would be awfully difficult for a player like Sabonis to make the kind of scoring leap you're talking about because he just has to work so damn hard at it already. That said, I've been a big proponent of Domas taking a couple more three's per game, because that's one area where the scoring seems to come easy for him. He's getting comfortable with that shot. Most of the time, it looks smooth and effortless. If he can hit a couple three's per game at a 38% clip, that's gonna go a long way toward making his life a little less red-faced from getting brutalized in the paint so frequently.
