BIOS updates for X370-based motherboards have been rolling out with compatibility for this CPU - my four year old ASRock X370 Pro4 had a beta BIOS update on April 29th adding compatibility for Cezanne APUs like this one.
$180 is a bargain to update your CPU if you have a compatible board! My HTPC build currently has a Ryzen 3 2200g, to upgrade it with a chip that is three years newer while not touching the motherboard is a dream.
$20 CPU - it's faster
$20 Motherboard - it has better components
$20 RAM - higher speed
$20 PSU - better brand
$20 Case - better ventilation
$200+ GPU - because you bought a 5600x instead which has no onboard graphics
$60 FANs - because you bought a case with better ventilation but it comes with no fans.

Lackluster performance isn't that great compared to zen 3 CPUs and 12th-gen Intel CPUs. Its CPU part performance definitely isn't bad, just not great either.

Correct me if I am wrong, but that was my takeaway.
Also, I think it has some generally lower specs than a 5600/x, but it's also cheaper, so you get a lot of utility for lower price.
As an owner of the 5600x, 12th Gen Intel is faster, but it also came out Q1 of 2022 vs ryzen 3 which came out Q4 2020. That's over a year of difference between them, so being a little slower is expected, and the difference isn't even that huge.
Not all PCs are designed for higher powered discrete GPUs. It would be very stupid to say that this isn't for serious builds.
For those that already have an AM4 motherboard and an older AMD CPU, this is a good CPU with integrated graphics to upgrade to so you don't need a separate graphics card.
Do make sure your motherboard supports the display ports you intend to use though (not all support dual display port, for example).

if your not planning to have a GPU, or you might be repurposing it, this will do the trick. or even if your paranoid of having a GPU fry on you and being left without a pc this will do great. Yes I have had GPU's fry on me after a few years, this would make diagnosing it significantly easier.
sure you can get a slight percentage of a faster CPU on paper, but are you really going to notice it, for me the functionality makes more sense.

Lack of PCIe 4 on the G CPUs, especially once direct storage becomes a bigger deal on PCs, will be the most noticeable difference for most
