You really think people with $2000 builds would buy a $200 cpu? Comparing 3600 and 8600k is for the 99% of the builds which is prebuilds and sub $1000 builds.
I agree with you that going all out for the graphics cards is not optimal expect if you plan to upgrade after 4-5 years ( which many people with budget builds do).
(enormous) downsides of Zen1/Zen+.
?
They were pretty close and way more future proof than the lower core count intel counter parts. They also had smother .1% ( so less shuttering ) from day 1 of zen.
Latency was a non issue with not crap ram timings.
