The Mirai has an EPA range of 402mi [0] and the Model 3 long-range has 353mi [1], so it isn't a straight comparison.
And FCEVs are still in their infancy. There are only 6 production FCEVs so far [2] with very few charging stations built yet. They haven't reached anywhere near the same level of maturity as BEVs. Just compare the first list [2] to the second list [3]. What was the available range when BEVs only had 6 production vehicles on the market?
So I think it's more accurate to say the theoretical advantage hasn't _yet_ been realized in practice.
