In 2010, Sneijder deserved it but Messi got a courtesy award
Sneijder won the treble with Inter and helped the Dutch to the WC Final. But still Messi won the bdor despite being horrible in the WC. Favourism has been the greatest attribute of Messi's career.

In 2012 Messi only had a CDR to show for his achievements. His 91 goals were of no use coz when needed he disappeared in the title decider Clasico at Camp Nou & also disappointed in the UCL SF against Chelsea
Iniesta won the EURO but he was overlooked just to give Messi a career

In 2019, Messi was horrible. He lost the UCL SF despite being 3-0 up in the 1st leg, he lost the CDR Final & he was awful in the Copa America scoring only 1 penalty in 6 games
Van Dijk won the UCL & had an amazing season with club n country but Messi again won a courtesy award.

Now if we look at Ronaldo, only 2013 can be seen controversial when Ribery deserved it more.
Ribery had a fantastic collective season in 2013 so I'd say he deserved the 2013 Bdor ahead of Ronaldo

But if we look at 2018 Ballon dor, that's where Cristiano Ronaldo was robbed
No way did Modric deserve it ahead of Ronaldo. Ronaldo had better stats and better performances than Modric.
That makes it even for Ronaldo. One time he was favoured, one time he was robbed.

Its pretty clear that without favourism and courtesy awards, Ronaldo is way clear of Messi.
But the only reason Messi is still in the same debate is coz of clear favourism and robbing other players awards. Ronaldo is the most hated person in the World just coz he is too good.
