While Pipewire is certainly better than Pulseaudio, let’s not forget that the latter actually surfaced the millions of bugs in sound drivers by simply using them in a more advanced way than just putting out audio, so while it was buggy initially, most of those stem from a layer below.

Pulseaudio is buggy to this day, and switching to Pipewire is most often the easiest way to fix problems with audio, particularly bluetooth audio. They're both meant to do the same thing, but using the same exact drivers Pipewire just works better. This is why all the major distros are switching to Pipewire; a transition which hasn't earned the ire of the users who are supposedly mad at anything new.
