Personally I don't really care what type of cores I have, I just care about performance.
I've two systems that I use daily. 13900k for work and 7950X3D for games. Both perform very well, on a fully up to date W11 OS install with modern applications. Both are stable.
I think the majority of issues come from people that can't move on and insist on using old OS (Windows 10 etc), old software, or those that struggle to install the correct drivers/software.
It is getting a little more complicated to get the best performance out of the box these days, as it's not just a question of installing the latest software from the CD/DVD/vendor website. From my personal experience, most of these people will either buy a Mac, console or will use managed services (hardware hosted on the cloud, with provider doing the OS updates/drivers/etc).
Some of us are using software there is no modern equivalent of, especially when it comes to obscure game modding tools, etc. that said so far I've not really had any problem in that respect on my 14700K though Windows 10/11 is trash for some productivity stuff I do.
