Something can be valid (e.g., "legit"), yet inferior at the same time.

Even the best examples of the Missa Normativa are still lacking something when compared to the "Mass of all Ages."

And I say this as someone who has only assisted at the Tradtional Latin Mass a handful of times. It's just too obvious to miss.

I think the best thing for the Church to do with the liberty is to go back to 1965 and start over with the reform, doing it incrementally and organically this time.

What makes the Novus Ordo Mass inferior?

If the Novus Ordo Mass is celebrated as explicitely prescribed in the rubrics and Sancrosanctum Concilium, and not watered-down or "secularized" by liturgists, there is nothing "inferior" about it.

If you have been following the Synod postings, it is evident that the Normative liturgy is drawing in people and many converts, throughout Africa, India and Asia. They are also experiencing a wealth of vocations. Perhaps we need some of their priests to share their joy with us here in the west.
