Meanwhile, AMD still has only 4 Zen4 CPUs on the market and we have no signs of new lower end parts, giving Intel the huge pool of systems AMD lived from during years.
Intel has come back, and AMD doesn't seem to be able to respond. Let's hope the rumors about ryzen 8/9000 featuring hybrid cores is real so that they can get on par with Intel on that front, and that they finally mov their asses and start designing CPUs from the top to the bottom market, including (no poorly gimped) low end parts.

Is it worth it, though?

For that extra die space, you might as well just toss another entire CCD (~ 72 mm2) into the package and get the performance of full cores, especially considering the efficiency gap is so large (a 13600k consumes more power than a 5600X and a 7600X put together!).
