Default Deep scratches on camshaft ok?

Hey everyone,
there are some deep groves/marks on one of my camshafts on the driver side. I read online this is normal to balance out the motion of all the cams but just making sure it’s nothing major since it’s only on one of the camshafts and not the other 3. (See pic)

I noticed similar marks (pictured above) when I did my valve covers. I believe it's normal.
