Default Alignment at 33k miles: Was it really that bad before?

2019 IS 300 F Sport. Stock Height. First time getting an alignment in 33k miles. I did 4 tire changes about 4k miles ago. The tech said my front right was pretty off and I should have brought it in after the tire changes. Based on this alignment sheet, was my front right really that bad? Lot of bumpy roads here in SoCal, especially with all the freeway construction. I did hit a couple potholes deep, which I think was what caused it. Driving wise after the alignment I don't feel much of a difference.

Looks like the toe was off from one side but it's not that bad

Given the difference in the front Toe the steering wheel should have been off center while driving straight.
It was probably close to one full turn on the Tie Rod to adjust the right front Toe...I would say that is significant enough to classify as "bad".
Would have been nice if they tweaked the rear Toe so it was more even, but not the end of the world.
