Is Bambu still the move if you're a noob?

Searched in here for "best beginner 3d printer" and saw lots of recommendations for Bambu A1/mini. I was like dope, let me research more. Then there's all these youtube videos about how Bambu just "nuked themselves from orbit" with their latest update

But still people are saying Bambu is best for beginners? That this whole thing is overblown? Without any knowledge it's hard to know if I should be looking elsewhere
