USO last year was the opposit of rewarding spin.

Was a gimmicky surface rewarding light low attacking.

Check out most OHBHs have so: Fed, Thiem, Tsitsipas, Shapo - in the picture, Wawrinka too I believe - this is to give themselves more margin for errors with OHBH being more error-prone shot compared to THBH.

And before Sock, it was Andreev who had higher top spin than Nadal.

Nadal fans thinks he has the far more top spin than other players when it obviously not true. Partially it's bias, but also Nadal's whole shtick is acting like a warrior and part of that is making it appear he's putting in more effort than he actually is. It wins him matches and also fans who have fallen for it.
