Sure. Just look at sack records by some of the best pass rushers ever compared to Int records
For some of the best CB’s and safeties ever.

It makes the answer obvious.

Very true, double digit int seasons don't happen very often. While every year there's usually 15+ players with double digit sacks.

..I must concur, with Diggs. Higher percentile a defensive lineman would get sack, sooner than DB get INT.

I think the record for forced fumbles is 10 in a season, so interception are almost as hard to get as forced fumbles and are actually more valuable because you don't win possession of all forced fumbles.

Sacks are easier for Parsons, but I bet interceptions are easier for Diggs. It depends on your skill set.
See below
Right, because multiple players have had 22.5 sacks in a season. Can u foresee a player ever getting 22 or 23 interceptions in season?
Exactly this. All-time record INTs in a season is 14 and it was incredibly rare to see Diggs break double digits. Multiple players every year break double-digit sacks.

I think they are both difficult

I would disagree I think both are difficult and really on many things. Maybe INTs because if they don't throw to your guy the odds go way down that you will get an INT

All Time Records
Sacks: 200
INTs: 81

Season Records:
Sacks: 22.5

Of course sacks are easier. That’s why sack leaders have more sacks than interception leaders every year. Cowboys led the NFL with 26 sacks in 17 games. TJ Watt had 22.5 sacks all by himself in only 15 games. His team had 55 sacks.

Since there are at least 3 times the picks with sacks, I would say that isn't a newsflash.

Sacks are definitely easier you have guys routinely hover around 20 each year (league leaders but still nobody is ever getting that many INT)
