What is so bad about the 45 ?The charts look good to me.
I think that you have visualize that the pixel density is equivalent to more than 40mp on a full format camera.There are simply limits to what is achievable.

It's not so bad but I noticed quite quickly -on mine at least- that although pleasant, it wasn't quite up to the 20mm sharpness wide open, as your digits confirm.
On the other hand, on Lenstip, both peak at 60-65 lpmm wide open, showing almost no gap between both and when there is one, the 45 was ahead!? Sample variation at work I guess.
More generally, Sammy summarizes we had lenses peaking at 2500 center (20mm pana 14-45) and now with the latest bunch of lenses, nothing seem to exceed 2200.
