I'm going to disregard the original comment because a lot of factors are going into the impressiveness and everyone's body is different, but you can't really compare your flat bench progression with your deadweight lifts accurately to gauge progress. Either way, progress is progress and congrats on your gains friend!
I actually only do RDL’s because regular deadlifts kinda messes the rest of my lift, especially since its works all of the posterior chain and quads, so I kinda have trouble trying to fit them in my PPL split
I get it. I do standard deadlifts first thing on my back day because I don't like fatiguing my posterior chain on leg day, but it definitely causes grip problems by the end of my workout. Maybe it's just me, but you'll probably be lifting lower weights typically with an RDL which may be where the comments are coming from.
