NFL has had the least parity among the four major NA sports over the past six years

And strangely enough, the NBA has arguably had the most parity over that time span.
NBA
Six Different Champions
Nine (or ten) Different Teams That Have Made NBA Finals
MLB
Six Different World Series Champions
Nine Different Teams Have Made World Series
NHL
Five Different Stanley Cup Champions
Nine (or ten) Different Teams Have Made Stanley Cup Finals
NFL
Four Different Super Bowl Champions
Seven Different Teams Have Made Super Bowl

Out of curiosity, why did you choose 6 years?

Guessing because that's when Kansas City won their first Super Bowl in this run.

Is championship games the best way to determine parity?

Why is that strange? The NBA can get 20% of their starting lineup in a single superstar pick. The NFL can get 4.5% of their starting lineup in a single pick.

Kind of disingenuous when a QB has so much impact on the game

Championships over just a six year span isn’t a great measure of parity.
That being said football in general has less parity than the other major American sports because it is the game in which luck plays the smallest role across large sample sizes. Being bigger, stronger and faster than the guy across from you matters more in football than baseball/basketball/hockey, and better teams can more consistently win by just leaning on the opposition for a full game.
It’s why a 12+ team playoff in college football is so fricking stupid

Zero rookie QBs have ever won a Super Bowl.

Nice rigged timeline

MLB and the NBA, historically, have had the least parity.
If you look at who has won titles in each, both are overwhelmingly by a small number of teams.
Recent events are an aberration more than anything, especially in the NBA where injuries and age have helped dethrone a number of dynasties such as the Warriors.

A QB is only as good as his o-line and WRS….

Feels like you should throw starter/starting in the qualifications somewhere

Well you’re a quarter right.

Because no other sport are wins and losses so determined by one person/position than QB.

I'd say that isnt strange at all

This is what I thinking. Very well said.

Just different styles in script writing between leagues.
