What exactly makes Cycles a "toy renderer"? Is it just that it doesn't conserve energy?

People who paid money for renderers say that because they lost money

Idk much about it but what I've picked up is every render is grainy unless some setting gets set to a million bajillion and then it takes forever.

It looks like garbage Cris. I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings but that is reality and it won't change because it makes you feel bad.
Rendering is not Blender's strong suit. Read that statement as many times as it takes to sink in.

Have you finished your Christmas game yet, Cris?

It makes it toy, first people are using measly 15 samples, and then denoiser on top, so fine details and lighting won't render properly. And usually they are using shit textures, and simple PBRs.
Cycles is just a regular render, it's just free and used mostly on potato pcs

Name a good renderer (fast, gpu, hydra)

>Principled shader is missing some autismo features like Oren-Nayar for high roughness surfaces, or diffuse lighting not being reduced appropriately from some of the rays going specular instead (you can add this stuff yourself but it should really be in the principled shader already)
These are the only valid reasons I can think of.
The reason why images look so shit is because it takes a ton of work and expertise to make a good image, and few pro studios use Blender whereas a ton of hobbyists do.

Delusion. If you rip out tonemapping, the same scene should render almost exactly the same, especially if you deal with straightforward surfaces and lights (which is honestly 95% of CG work).
