I miss the days pre-COVID when a 12/2 roll was $50.

I generally use 12/2 for rooms and kitchen outlets.
14/2 is a single run outlet or lights/fans/etc... type thing.
So I agree, better to run 12/2 for most now IMO.

12/2 can be used with a 20amp breaker. 20amps x 120volts = 2,400watts.
As long as the total usage on that line/breaker doesn't exceed 1,800watts then you are fine using 14/2. I've ran window A/C units, vacuums, power tools, garage door opener, and more on 14/2 (obviously not all at the same time!). 12/2 is absolutely better, but it only gets you an extra 600watts. That might be handy in many circumstances, but you can still run a decent amount on 14/2! When in doubt go with 12/2 especially for places like a garage or kitchen where there is more demand, but save some money if you won't exceed 1,800watts.

If you are never going to be putting that continuous load on it then why is 12/2 the default when you are only get a continuous extra 480watts on the line (1920 -1440 = 480). Is it really that important to you to get an extra 480watts on the line? You act as though you can't burn your house down on 12/2.
Just be smart people.
