Is Zotac still a really good brand?

Incase you didn't, Zotac is one of those brands where they make GPU's, kinda like other brands. I also heard that there more a little more affordable than any other brands like PNY. Example is the 5070 Ti, which, while still overpriced, is a little more affordable, in this case being $979.99 (nearly $980.00).

However, at Micro Center, when asked an employee which GPU brands are better, one of them said "Anything but the Zotac", and I was like "oh ok". Months later, I asked why they think Zotac is a not a good GPU brand, and according to an employee in a statement

"The primary reason I don't like the Zotac cards is that Zotac is spectacularly unhelpful when it comes to their insurance service. They have an obnoxious tendency to ghost you while they have your card. The cards themselves are fine; it's just that Zotac's service is abysmal even by the already low standards of GPU warranty replacements".

"The easy solution to this is to buy our replacement plan; that way you go through us rather than going through Zotac, which means you also get to get a replacement card immediately rather than waiting four months".

"We can discuss it further when you come in for the card".

Do you all think that's accurate or not? Cause I'm sure some people are gonna disagree what they employee says in the same vein about Seasonic being a better brand, due to them thinking that the people who work at a tech store are not experts, but rather, just sellers.
