I think you will find that as you get higher in the rankings, rating points are easier to get. There are so few of them compared to the rest of the site, so higher rated players milk the moderately high who milk the rest of us.
So a 1200 would have a different ratings comparison to FIDE rating compared to a 2200.
If a 2200 is actually a 2000 FIDE, then a 1200 here might actually be a 1200 or 1250 FIDE.

I have exactly the opposite impression, that the difference between a 2300 player and a 2400 player is much greater than the difference between a 1300 player and a 1400 player.

You obviously missed the point. It was only about comparing chess.com ratings to FIDE ratings.
The higher up the ratings you go, the more inflated the rating.

Nah I disagree.
This is just something people with a <1200 Chess.com rating like to tell themselves to feel better.
Are the US Chess percentiles relevant? I suspect there are a lot of people who played in one or two tournaments, wound up with a sub-1000 rating, and never played again. If these inactive players count, then the percentiles don't mean much.
I'm 1365 USCF and my member page says I am 75.4th percentile.
I think this helps to support my idea.
Well maybe not, lol.
Around my rating in rapid is 95 percentile. Like 1370 and I am at the moment 1390…
With respect to chess puzzles, where is it that you can find your percentile?
Out of curiousity, how do you get banned from Chess.com? This would seem to be almost impossible, unless you were somehow cheating.
on lichess, 2200 rapid (my rating) scores 98%
Here 2040 ish (mine) is 99.7%

well u could curse ur head off
Just to add, I’m 578 and 47th Percentile. So that would suggest that 600 on Chess.com is about the 50th percentile currently.
99.9 :-)
