Unpopular Opinion - We don't need better models (rant incoming)

Something I see a lot on this subreddit is the mindset that a better model is going to make images better, a better lora is going to solve all my image generations, if only the chinese model makers would make something as good as Nano Banana Pro we're golden. The high quality images you see from Nano Banana Pro et all isn't because of the diffusion step We don't need better model architectures it's our engineering that's the problem. The closed source models are not as far ahead as you think.
