Zen2 is and always was slower than 10th gen if you compare corresponding SKUs, the only way the are better off is if they upgraded Zen2 to Zen3. 10700 non-K I got back then always had an advantage over 3700/3800/3900x in gaming.People who purchased a Zen 2 cpu would have been significantly better off now than someone who purchased a 10th generation cpu they also weren't far enough apart that it mattered with how the majority of people actually game. I owned both my 10th gen system's is retired but my zen 2 based system is still going strong and was the substantially better investment.
7900XT came down to it or the 4070ti 12GB both cards weren't very good in my book but it really came down to how people game and DLSS/RT vs the extra vram. I don't think buying either especially at launch was a good investment but people are going to recommend based on their biases and use cases not everyone's is the same.
Intel Core i7-10700 Review - Way to Overclock without the K
In our Intel Core i7-10700 review, we're taking a look at one of Intel's most affordable 8-core/16-thread processors. Its low TDP of 65 W makes it power-efficient, but also limits performance. We unlocked that limit and gained up to 30% real-life performance without ever risking an unstable system.

What is true is that they had a better upgrade path, but still, that required buying a Zen3.
