Okay, apologies in advance but here comes an incoming rant that harks back to the original question.
And the answer is IGNORANCE.
Whether it's cymbals, drums or anything else the answer is, it's down to people expressing ignorant opinions with so much confidence that people who don't know any better or who are on the fence then repeat this confidently expressed opinion as "fact" and then it subsequently takes on a life of its own.
Just tonight I saw online someone stating "as fact" that all pubs in England are only allowing people in if they book a table in advance due to Covid 19. Now if I hadn't been out for a drink recently I might be of a mind to repeat this "fact" if someone asked about the state of public houses in the UK, thus compounding a lie. Fortunately I have been out and the "fact" is that this is absolute balderdash.
In the same way B whatever isn't better than B something else, nor is maple better than birch, mahogany or whatever else.
A word to the wise. If someone is making a sweeping statement of "fact", check out their previous online posts and their general provenance before blindly repeating what they say as gospel.
