Unpopular opinion: my $60 fountain pen was a complete waste

I kept seeing everyone rave about how a nice pen changes your whole journaling experience, so I finally grabbed a TWSBI Eco for around $60. Hated it from day one. The ink smudged on everything, it bled through my Leuchtturm pages, and I had to clean it every other week to keep it flowing. Meanwhile, my pack of $3 Pilot G2s works perfect every time with zero hassle. I really don't get the hype on these expensive pens when a basic gel pen does the same job. Anyone else feel like fancy tools are oversold for this hobby?

My buddy Matt's $80 pen leaked all over his new work shirt.

Fancy stuff just makes simple things feel complicated for no reason.
