I think you forgot that each private key can generate 2 addresses (compressed and uncompressed in legacy version), so I believe that you have to take this fact into account as well.

True. You're right, the average is 2**96.78 private keys / address.

Btw you always say h160 is always uniform.

But im scanning over 256 trilions keyspace in h160 prefix .  several private key position / range ,  and the result is vary , some even differ bout +10% 🤔.

You're analyzing a grain of sand and making assumptions about the entire beach.
