Hot take: I think solid wood countertops are overrated in most kitchens

Went to a custom home show in Charlotte last weekend and saw some beautiful work, but everyone was raving about these solid walnut tops. I dunno, I've installed enough of them to know they'll warp or crack within 3 years in a humid kitchen. Am I the only one who thinks a good laminate or quartz is actually more practical?

Yikes. A buddy of mine spent a fortune on butcher block counters and within two years they had this dark water stain spreading from the sink like a crime scene. He tried sanding it down but it just came back.
