I suppose they had the experience of non stop and exhaustive work schedules and touring though, with Liam still having to cope with the (relative) fall from grace at the end of it all, especially by comparison to Harry Styles.One Direction weren't one of those bands that were put together and then dumped after a couple of albums though. They had a lot more effort put into their success than it seemed like their talent deserved at the time. They then matured into better artists, and I would argue that they were better solo than they were together.
And I know people made fun of his claims that he was supposed to be the front man, but it was positioned that way on television. He was the one who was featured on TV as the star, before it kind of flipped. Yes, he was still in an enormously popular boy band, but no doubt there was a sting there, whereas the other three were never positioned as front men.
