Hard agree.

Some random examples where the Wikipedia page in the native language is much more detailed:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Florence vs https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rete_tranviaria_di_Firenze (and an entire second article for the historic system!)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_D%C3%A9fense vs https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Défense

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi vs https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministerium_f%C3%BCr_Staatssic...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_conquest_of_the_Iberian... vs https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conquista_omeya_de_Hispania ... but https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D8%AA%D8%AD... is better than both of them

Does anyone else have good examples? Or are there counter-examples, where enwiki has a better article than the native language wiki?
