The fact that you can now customize your teamates to be amazing makes it much easier for him to win than it was for Jordan.
What you call "interchangeable" is actually "hand picked".

The biggest argument in Lebron's favour will always be how the teams did without him.
Cleveland Round 1
Cleveland 09-10 With Lebron
.744 win percentage
Cleveland 10-11 w/o Lebron
.232 win percentage
Miami
Miami 13-14 w/ Lebron
.659 win percentage
Miami 14-15 w/o Lebron
.451 win percentage
Cleveland Round 2
Cleveland 13/14 without Lebron
.402 win percentage
Cleveland 14/15 with Lebron
.646 win percentage, lost in Finals
Cleveland 17-18 with Lebron
.610 win percentage
Cleveland 18-19 w/o Lebron
.232 win percentage
Compare that to Jordan
Chicago 92-93 with Jordan
.695 win percentage
Chicago 93-94 w/o Jordan
.671 win percentage
Those Bulls teams were top 3 in the Conference without Jordan, when Lebron missed games or left a team they instantly became a lottery team and vice versa he was able to turn teams around.
Lebron (and now Brady) are the only players that have single handled had such a big impact on a team being a title contender vs a lottery team in team sports history.
