I have a bro-in-law that swears his soundbar is "amazing surround sound"; nobody has the heart to tell him he's serving mcdonalds and swearing it's wagyu. I guess everyone has their own opinion on what constitutes "good enough" vs "incredible" but when I plop people down in front of even my slightly-better-than-mediocre 10yr old Yamaha's 5.1 setup (Polks & HSU sub), most jaws drop.
Of course soundbars are easier. Of course wireless is easier. It was a PITA running wires through exterior walls! When it comes to audio, there will always be a consumer striving for "great", often after evolving through a series of "good enoughs" ... you can find their old soundbars on craigslist or the dump.

I sold my A/V receiver several years ago. It was collecting dust. I prefer the headphone experience.

My current Onkyo has the HDMI switching issue but works as long as I don't turn it off.

Onkyo filed for bankruptcy last year. The assets and brand name were acquired by Sharp and VOXX this past winter. I'm pointing this out because it dovetails what the my prior speculative argument that consumer interest for these old-school home theater systems is literally dying. Onkyo went bankrupt and despite the strong global economy environment of 2021 which saw consumer spending surge to unprecedented levels. You would also think that the pandemic lockdowns of 2020 would have benefited Onkyo considering the huge demand for consumer electronics and streaming video services during that period when people spent most of their time at home. But alas, even the COVID bump, as it was called by businesses, could not break the long-term downward trend in flagging demand for A/V receivers and 5.1 speaker setups. That's a dying ecosystem.

I don't know all the details as to why sales didn't take off for Onkyo but supply chain issues could have also contributed to lower sales. If they couldn't get the product to consumers then it doesn't matter about the demand. Anyways that's my 2 cents.
I had both and replaced the Denon AVR S760H for the Onkyo TX-NR6050 because there are issue with HDMI handshaking with CEC turned on, limit power output, and I had an odd issue where Zone2 wouldn't stay disabled. I think the Zone2 might be more related to the aftermarket remote I was using to control the receiver, but I just wanted the feature off.
The Onkyo has more power and it sounds cleaner/brighter to me than the Denon, which I prefer for music and TV. However, I'll give a nod to the Denon that the surround sound effects seem to be more immersive and/or play louder where I cannot seem to get the Onkyo to do that. Otherwise, I think the Onkyo is better in many other respects, especially for configuration via PC (see this post).
If you still have your hearts set on the Denon receiver, disable the CEC features and you can avoid that headache. Otherwise I've found this Onkyo receiver to be more reliable for CEC features and more powerful overall. The only other call out is, you might hear clicks from the Onkyo receiver when switching audio formats which are quite loud, but it doesn't happen super often.
Anyway, hope that helps you and others!
