My Rockchip 3399 powered former Chromebook (now running proper Linux) from 2017 runs Gnome smoothly with Wayland, not with Xorg.
That’s reasonable to directly compare with phones from 2017; it’s slower than a Pixel 2. Mine actually benchmarks a little slower than the reference board linked here.
It isn’t working as it should be if it doesn’t run smoothly on more powerful hardware, but it’s not necessarily a matter of the end user “doing something wrong”. Sometimes it takes effort to get a particular combination of hardware and software to run smoothly even though it should work.
10 years ago is like the skylake era. sure, those machines are still pretty quick. can’t really be directly compared to phones…

I was referring to this statement.
