As an ender 3 user, I fully agree with your comment.
I bought my ender 3 in 2019. I have great success with it, but I only achieved this level of quality and reliability by fine tuning it and upgrading it. My 150€ printer is now closer to 400€, with all the upgrades.
If I where to buy a new printer today, I would definitely go for something more plug'n'play.
Ender 5 pro and I agree. I quit for a while because I was having too many problems with it. I've gotten back to it recently and, even though I've fixed most of the problems, I'm looking to upgrade to a p1s. I want to be able to hit print and just walk away or use the app from whereever.
Also if you got it in 2019 it's likely from before Creality dropped their quality assurance. Back in those days they used high quality components, like genuine Meanwell power supplies, which were later replaced with cheaper noname parts.
