I think I am a different shooter than I once was. Before all the training. Before I got better at it.
If you put a .45 and a 9mm on a bench and let me try both of the, the 9mm felt easier to shoot. Gentle. Almost like a .22 compared to the larger caliber. Well, maybe not that gentle, but noticeable.
Now? One of my biggest disappointments about getting a heavier 9mm pistol was that its recoil felt no gentler than a standard 1911. I was expecting easier recoil control leading to faster accurate shots. It just feels about the same. Same with other 9mm pistols, not just that first one.
I don't know. Maybe getting better made the .45 seem gentler because of improved shooting technique and the 9mm is as gentle as it ever was.
Here we go again. Not, this isn't the "Hottest Year Ever"

I think your last paragraph has the answer. I don’t feel much difference between my 9s and my 45.
Lighter bullet, but it has a higher pressure, so you will notice a snappier recoil. Also, sometimes a 9mm gun is lighter. Too may variables for a valid comparison.
