Russia has 200k troops committed. They have lost 4 generals to combat in 3 weeks. It’s an annualized rate of 69 generals a year so the number of generals they are losing for the size of their force is newsworthy.
The WW2 comparison is to a period of just under 4 years and a much larger force. Of the 40 generals that died during the war, only 11 were the result of combat while four were killed in plane crashes, two were executed by the Japanese, and one was killed by friendly fire. There were also more generals, since larger force. Those losses are not as newsworthy.
That's not how it works.

Except vastly more Russians than Americans got killed in WW2 and vastly more Russian soldiers and generals lost their lives in WW2.
Its Russians who are fighting now, not Americans.
Again as long as the Russian Generals are on the battlefield (like they seem to be), some of them are going to die. Its war.
Outside of sheer propaganda, there is no need making a song and dance about it.
