First, people will always tell you that what they bought is the best…justifies their purchase. As you say, your mileage may vary.
I make it a point to read 1 star reviews…what are the negative experiences? Are they relevant?
Left a funny taste, broke in a week…useful. Rarely do I see a review that says ‘changed my life’, but they’re there.
I can certainly see why they call it the “Windy City”!

Nothing to do with meteorology.

It helps to have a good eye and a willingness to look at different angles to see things differently. THEN having the best equipment brings it to a better level.

I absolutely think the opinion of someone who has used a product is very helpful. Example: If someone asked me how I liked the R5 and was a beginner, I would tell them that it is the best camera I have ever owned, however for a beginner it would not be my choice. That could help them with not spending too much and giving up photography all together because of the learning curve.
Imagine your photography as if you approached every image with only the best equipment.
