Ding had a really tough year last year, grinding his seat for the candidates with his country in lockdown. If he wins it's going to be well deserved in my opinion. Nepo really crushed it in the candidates, and frankly had a couple of good games against Magnus last time before he collapsed. If he wins I feel that there is some good merit as well. Obviously a lot of it is subjective. Mainly, I think the champion would have to beat Magnus in some future games or matches in other tournaments before truly gaining everybody's respect.
