5600: 6cores 12 threads for $104 V.S 5700x: 8cores 16 threads for $164
That's $60 in difference for 2 cores 4 threads.
so a $64 increase on a $1k pc is just 6.4%, for example. 35% performance for an overall 6.4% increase in total cost doesn't sound bad at all.
if i could buy a $200 gpu vs a $100 gpu and get 50% more gaming performance (let alone double), i would pay that extra $100.
of course, media outlets can only really compare the cost of the cpu because everyone's pc cost is different.

Bought my 5600X 6 months ago for $159.99 from microcenter. Comparable price now but uses twice the power for nearly the same performance, what 8-12% more processing?
COD games haven't been super CPU intensive.
Not having a cooler is no big loss, cause you'll eventually want to dump the loud oem fan and cooler.
