Huh? Not only do these guys suck, what does the alignment have to do with it being a crummy car? Street alignments are about stability and tire wear, not ultimate track handling.
Miata's, universally hailed as one of the best handling cars in existence, run tons of camber, even with a dual A-arm setup that gains camber in compression.
I ran like -3.2° up front and -2.5° out back on RComps, and the 200TW tires are basically RComps these days as well. And that's very common. Most start at -3° upfront and some go as high/low (however you want to look at it) as -4° upfront.
Keep in mind most magazine writers and YouTuber's are the equivalent of novice/HPDE 1 when it comes to speed and skill (outside of the few like Pobst), they just write well or put together videos some find intriguing.
