It's been a feature of the phones for years too.

While caution is definitely warranted after LG, I am definitely getting the impression that people are far too quick to jump to conclusions because an A.I. service told them something without them factually checking it first

You could compare it to Windows vs. Linux in a sense. 3ds Max has decades of legacy plugin/SDK compatibility baggage, lots of commercial and contractual obligations with business/enterprise customers... and Blender has none of those things weighing it down.

Well, I have been using 3DsMax and Blender from the early versions and it's always been the case that Blender is way faster.

Legacy baggage has nothing to do with it, in my opinion.
