Ever wondered if it was easier to have faith back when prophets performed miracles?

Salaam everyone, hope you're all doing well. I was just thinking-not to downplay the strong iman of our earlier Muslim brothers and sisters, but I've always had this question pop into my head. Wouldn't someone be more inclined to accept the message of Islam if they lived during a prophet's time and witnessed miracles firsthand, like those of Isa (AS)? Nowadays, we rely on the stories passed down, which is a test of faith in itself.
