not sure, depends what against what: i.e. VA synths like Virus Ti against massive probably not, MOOG Minitaur against any VSTi, playing bass for sure.

As mentioned before there are pockets of excellence in both VSTi & hardware

I bought my first hardware synth over 30 years ago, grew up on analog and digital hardware and, no, I generally cannot tell hardware from software or analog from a good digital emulation, especially when it comes to modern gear. And, on the specific topic of this thread, I cannot hear any intrinsic differences in hardware vs. software equalizers. Most importantly, I don't f---ing care. I use a combination of hardware and software and I take as much advantage of each as I can.
