I miss when most distros didn't have working wifi out of the box and you had to tool around finding the firmware for your adapter

Now a Debian install takes the better half of 10 minutes.
It should take an evening.

Has Arch been lobotomized the same way? should I switch?

Just use BSD or Gentoo.

Arch always had better hardware suppport.
Both newer kernel and lack of aversion from proprietary firmware. Debian's DFSG was the reason for most of the issues you mentioned but starting with debian 12 they made an exception for non-free firmware, separated it into a different repo, and now it's enabled by default.

Gentoo gives you everything just like any other linux distro does. People just mystify it without even trying it once.

Linux From Scratch. Otherwise, make your own OS
