This is also a thing that's bad about LLMs. You're holding it wrong if you continue to argue. But LLMs are presented as if we can use the conventions of natural language to communicate with them. That's how they're sold. So if they fail to live up to those expectations, that's still a problem with LLMs.

It's a problem with LLM's and people are "holding it wrong".

It makes zero difference that they've been sold as doing better if other people learn how to use them effectively and I choose to ignore how to get the best possible results out of them.

Except that it's impossible to "hold it right" -- even when following the guidance from its makers.
I have no problem "holding it right". Just today I had AI write 100% of the code for two different tools, using an AI assistant which wrote all the code for itself after the initial ~100 lines.

It's not hard to learn to be productive with these models.
