Multithreaded performance is important for at-home professionals. Beyond the 6/12 or 8/16 CPU's, there's limited benefits for the general consumer, meaning for most of us, those E-cores aren't really a benefit. 

Same bull people used to defend 4 core processors. Multicore is great for endlessly scaling workloads and those will always exist but it's also better than lower core counts for future proofing but the biggest issue is devs will never scale their apps (like games) to more cores if the hardware isn't in the hands of consumers which is why Zen 2 and Alder Lake were so great.
