Is Unreal Engine 5 really as bad as people seem to think it is? If so, why? (self.pcgaming)

I hear nothing but bad things when the topic of Unreal Engine 5 is brought up. It's also true that the games I've played which use this engine have suffered from poor performance to one degree or another, so it seems like the complaints are well-founded, but I don't actually know.

Is it a bad engine, or is it just not being used correctly by either the devs when they design their games or the players when they choose their graphical settings? Or a bit of both? What's actually wrong with it, in layman's terms?

Cheers!

I think any good developer can make any tool good if they have the proper time to optimize and bug fix. But I don't think most management really gives time to those things anymore. I know the fortune 50 company I work for is embarrassingly lacking in Quality Assurance on any of our development work, I can only imagine how poorly some other huge companies actually manage.
