If by “our position” you mean currently out of the playoffs, and needing help (aka the thing you called luck) to get back in, then no, “most” of the league does not want to be “in our position” at this very moment. We’re currently 8th in the NFC, out of 16 teams, and out of the playoffs. That means there are a bare minimum of seven teams in the NFC and at least the same in the AFC who don’t want to be “in our position”.

I’m not sure what’s “worse”, going 3-13 with no playoff win, or going 13-3 with NO playoff win. At least with the 3 win team we’re rewarded with a top five draft pick. It’s not being “spoiled” to think our postseason record hasn’t matched the talent level of the roster we’ve had. And in all truthiness, one Super Bowl with what you, among many others argue is the GOAT QB in the NFL, is not success. Is it better than pre-Payton teams? Yes, without a doubt, but I’ll remind you that Eli Manning has more SB rings in the Payton/Brees era than Payton or Brees do. And that my friend is not just bad luck..., nor is it success. Expectation for success =/= being “spoiled”. imho.
