Am I alone in finding that RMs have much *better* legroom than newer
buses?

No, you aren't; especially in the upstairs front seats (where I like to
sit, if possible, as I am less likely to feel carsick in them - don't
even think about asking me to sit in the bendy portion of a bendibus) -
on some modern models you can barely get your feet in to sit down, never
mind stretch out a little!
