You forget one vitally important thing. Myles is not and never will be the great Reggie White!
Reggie White:
Games Played: 232
Solo Tackles: 232
Sacks: 198
Pro Bowls: 13
NFL DPOY: 2
Myles Garrett:
Games Played: 117
Solo Tackles: 250
Sacks: 102.5
Pro Bowls: 6
NFL DPOY: 1
If you double Garrett's numbers to get to about the same number of games played, he'll have 500 solo tackles and 205 sacks. And will have been a Pro Bowler 12x, and twice the DPOY.
If he stays healthy, he may be the equal of White in terms of production - and with almost twice the number of solo tackles. That he's stuck at a crappy program and likely won't sniff a Super Bowl isn't his fault.
If you look at the stats, Reggie has "0" solo tackles the first 8 years of his career. They were only tracked starting in 1994. So that stat is misleading in this case vs Myles.
Myles will have a very hard time catching White. White rarely missed games in his 15 seasons. He averaged more sacks per season over 15 years than Myles has over his 7. (13.2 vs 12.8 per season). He could get himself in to the top 5 all-time in sacks which is incredible.
Speaking of which. I hope Von gets another season and can get 3.5 sacks so he gets in to top 15 and ahead of Lawrence Taylor.
