"...the board allowed for a 250W boost out of the box and then settled to 125W for the remainder of the stress testing. Compared to boards that allow more power use, it is slower, but you can quickly work around this by adjusting the power limits. Outside of that, it was a competent gamer and did well in tasks that didn’t involve pushing the CPU hard..."

This is why all manufacturers pushed unlimited power delivery. Every article is about MOAR POWER, and motherboards that "perform better" or are "slower" will lose sales.
Do we need this?

What matters most is features like USB ports and NVMe storage. RAM speed in MT/s is also useful as well as any compatibility problems.

Does it run processors that it's sensible to pair with? If yes, than the above is far more important than whatever results an i9 shows.
I wouldn't put an unlocked i5 into that motherboard, and in fact it would have been useful to test it with something like a 12400 or 13600K or similar.
