ROG is Asus.

Also I don't think I've ever had this issue with my previous, nor my current rog boards. I never use their drivers CD so maybe that helps

Just because a the brand is owned by them doesnt mean they do the same.

ROG is model line of Asus, not a secondary brand. ROG is to Asus what F-series trucks are to Ford.

Or we could all be informed consumers and... research products before we buy them to avoid these kinds of issues.

I'd never buy an Asus product. I hear they're a nightmare when it comes to customer service, so in avoiding them, I avoid that problem.

I swore myself to never buy an ROG PSU (very noisy fan. Never had an issue with my seagate one being noisy) or a motherboard (armory crate).
Are other (gaming) brands also so shit to have me reset all settings before updating the firmware? e.g Gigabyte, AsRock, EVGA?

Not particularly, no, I'm just the type to not step on the rotting plank on the bridge. I'd rather step over it.

I've had zero issues with Gigabyte and ASRock. I have an Asrock board in now and I used a Gigabyte in my last system. Stable and fine.

EVGA, I dunno. I don't buy Nvidia or need the pedigree, I'm a Linux user who sticks to Ryzen CPUs and AMD, but I hear they're top shelf quality from others.
