I'm not saying this isn't true, but I always find it interesting when I see people complain about screen tearing.
How often does it actually happen to you, and under which circumstances?
Personally I've been using computers since 1995, (Windows and Linux) and I practically never encounter screen tearing. And this is on a wide variety of hardware. Spread evenly over intel, nvidia, and AMD.
The rare times I did encounter it, was only on one PC with an ancient nvidia graphics card (running Arch linux, bspwm). And it would only ever (if even) happen right before a restart after updating the nvidia drivers.

It happens every time I Watch a video on X, which is really annoying. It also happens when dragging large windows on my 4k. Wayland is fantastic in this regard.
