Look at the top 10 sackers each year and tell me how many are playing the RDE spot like Jared, and how many are playing the LDE spot like Hali. It's really an apples and orange comparison because those two positions are being asked to do different things.

It's easier to get sacks because they're rushing the blindside. But who pass blocks better LT's or RT's, this is pretty simple.
Teams put their best rusher on the weakside, of course that's where the top sackers are going to play. Just like teams generally like a run stopper with some ability to rush against RTs on the strongsidde.
I'm not equating a sack with beating an OT.
