There were a few good ones, yes.
I have been a lifelong huge fan of Beatles music, I play guitar in a band that covers many Beatles songs, my life was forever changed on Feb 9, 1964, etc. And of course many of those songs were McCartney compositions. So I grant Paul that he was a hell of a great songwriter back in the day, and his bass playing has been an inspiration to me and countless others.
But after about 1968 his writing just got, in George's words, "fruity", and the stuff after that, while mostly technically competent, is just not interesting. sigh, sic transit.
I would have liked to see what John Lennon did in later life, after 1980. Minus the politics, of course. Musically he was really the better writer by far.

But his last choice of women.....
Instant Karma was amazing
Then it was “Days Like These” 😲🥺😮
I've heard it said that Lennon liked Reagan, the two had met a few years earlier by chance during a Monday Night Football game, and Reagan spent a few minutes discussion the rules of football with John.
George stayed true to his rock roots while McCartney has always tried to be socially relevant. Just look at his collaborations with Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and Kanye. Coming Up was his attempt at disco.
I think it was Bill Maher who had an interesting theory on their breakup was because Lennon was losing the battle for A side releases at the end.
