That is not unusual even on old stock tubes. For example I have tested probably near 1000 NOS GE 6550As - a very fine tube - and cathode current varied by as much as 110%. Others would vary a bit more.
That variance is not a big deal at all - and it is NOT unique to current production tubes.
If you like variance look at modern solid state devices. By comparison tubes are close!!
