Aren't the best women in esports really men too?

Whenever I hear "one of the best %X players is a woman" and %X is a videogame or card game I check if it's a troon and I don't think I've been wrong yet. It's like Cassandra syndrome except instead of being cursed with prophecy it's like being cursed with noticing obvious things.
'The best %X' is virtually always going to be man. Women cluster toward the average, men spread further to the extremes.
It makes perfect evolutionary sense for it to be this way - the women need to be stable because they carry the children. The men need to be more variable because if they're not, there'll be precious little evolution/adaptation.
