because they are scum buckets. i shopped there from 2004 to 2019. spent tens of thousands. but after they got bought out by some chinese company they went to s**t. bogus restocking fees. shipping broken returns instead of new items then blaming the buyers for breaking them. denying returns for made up reasons. allows scammers to sell on their platform and not helping customers when something goes wrong with 3rd party sellers. i can go on all day
on two occasions i bought brand new motherboards and got someone's broken returns. one of them had nearly all the pins destroyed. looked like someone whacked the cpu socket with a hammer. and they tried to blame it on me and reject the return. that was back in 2019. i filed a chargeback and never shopped there again

Hence, I try not to buy from Newegg because I dont want to hassle with them on returns and really disliked their GPU bundling and return policy.
Oh, and it didnt help that some major tech YouTubers got into a row with Newegg about returning items that were bought when marked new and then arrived and were clearly open and used.

EDIT: just looked for past posts and it seems previously the deal was similar, but with the Gigabyte Z690 MB instead. The Gigabyte combo is still on their site with direct link [microcenter.com], but marked as Sold Out

MicroCenter has the 7700x bundle at the same price which still benchmarks slightly lower. They have a few interesting more expensive options as well.
All that being said I have not complaints with my 5700g which actually ranks lower than the 5600x.
