I’d say that’s true. It’s easier to get strength back than it was to get it in the first place. Anecdotally I went to the gym regularly for a long time. It took weeks to add weight increases. I quit because covid, work, etc. Started going again years later and it was far more rapid weight advancement, however it was harder to hit the higher weights I’d done previously. Just getting older, I guess.
