I've seen this in action professionally and it drove me up the wall.

At a previous job I had to spec out some hardware procurement on the order of a million dollars over two years, and all of my compute was based around AMD EPYC. The amount of fighting and arguing that this resulted in was wild. These were all still supermicro boxes, still from the same trusted vendor we were using, but I had to spell out many times that we were basically getting double the compute for what we would have got otherwise.

Worst part was when the first shipment arrived and nothing booted and worked and turned it out be a bad batch of drives from micron that had bad controllers, the same ignoramus used it as a "I told you so" moment, even though the vendor confirmed it was a micron issue and immediately shipped over replacements.
