I can agree on that one too,
but.... YN - have too much complicated triggers for different things also.
I read a fantastic article about that. Godox succeded where YN failed, and each system have same market, and same goals - at very much same price.

As far as I can read - Godox is more reliable, more sturdy, with simplier radio triggers solutions, with full HSS support, and their products can easily be paired with each other to make them work together,
while in YN that's not the case.

I have a three Godox Flash Lamps,
and I can use the triggers from them,
to
triggers the Godox flashes. I simply can put trigger from lamp, to the flash directly.

With YN,
I can't even pair some of YN flashes to work with unsuported YN radio trigger, because they mixed up system.

So, Godox is by far - much better choice, and YN would lose battle. The situation is rapidly changed for them, and I think the Godox would just eat them,
because for overall better compatibility,
better flash builds,
and even cheaper prices.
