It was always heavily implied

I once was reading a review on UserBenchmark comparing NVIDIA and Intel GPUs, and the summary had a rant disparaging AMD GPUs... Like chill, they weren't even in this...

Great, now I have The Aquabats stuck in my head

Even Apple isn't great with that. They often have different models for earlier and later in the year, various variants of each size, and little distinguishing features other than model number- same as those monitors.

It just isn't as visible on their products as much, because they at least try to make it more simple for consumers.but monitors often have model line, size, and resolution short hand to differentiate as well.

Oh, no! They've fallen for the "don't pre-order" hype!

Yeah, this for sure. I also really prefer cooler and cold weather, but a lot of people seem to prefer warmer weather. Meteorologists don't idolize warm weather, they talk that way about warm weather because that's how most people view it; they are catering to their audience.

Though, I also don't think it's uncommon for people to prefer colder weather, either. It seems a pretty close split between hot and cold weather, with the majority of people liking it somewhere in between. The language around cold weather is just a little different, and there are less outdoor activities that are focused on colder months. I grew up in an area with resorts for tourists from a large city, and the local weather reports absolutely talked about good weather for skiing and such in the winter.

They don't launch today

Yeah, that might be more accurate. Most of what I was thinking was in terms of MMORPG PvP arenas, or something like Sea of Thieves when you have two ships that get locked in a prolonged battle. Having one really good player going against a group of semi-coordinated average players can be a lot of fun, too! Like everyone ganging up on the really good Smash player (and still losing against them).

When there is no challenge at all, that's when it gets dull.

100% agree! Sure, it might be disappointing if you spend 15 minutes in an intense back and forth before eventually losing, but it feels good! If one side is going to absolutely dominate the other, though, at least let it be over quickly.
