Consider what was state-of-the-art before PCB.
Hand-wired point-to-point
with plenty of tie points and laced cables.
There were plenty of instances of PCB-ish designs for the techs to get
used to, but they still complained. Even in the 1920s, some companies
were getting into technologies that were clearly on their way to being
PCBs - all the tube sockets on one piece of plastic, with wires
preinstalled the step before.
I think it may be that electronics people just like to complain.
