I feel as though that was a comparison made by someone who has never actually been forced to watch Family Guy, and is just using it as a byword for “mainstream comedy they don’t like” because wow… no.
The more apt comparison would be Rick and Morty, because they took one of its writers. Really comes through in the first season, which thankfully got toned down.
Yeah, they for sure owe a great deal to the revolution in adult animation that R&M brought out. Like you say, after the first season I’m glad they moved away from it and forged their own identity.
