Phil Leotardo didn't appear until the fifth season, and wasn't really a prominent character until he stepped up after Johnny's death. So really it's very similar in terms of Tony and Walt both facing off against "smaller" foes than some may have expected.
Tony's biggest battle in that final season was never the New York crew. It was always with himself first, then his at home family, then his mob family. The show started that way and it ended that way.
