How much time do you spend making a character model from scratch?

Dear Anons, please bear with me, this is not a bait thread. I've worked for 10 years as a graphic designer and when I decided to go 100% freelance I went for Affinity Suite instead of Adobe so I didn't have to pay a subscription. I had a really bad time because everyone expected me to use Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, etc. Eventually I had to go back to Adobe, I was losing money. Now I'm in a position where I have to learn 3D so I can keep a couple of big clients. My question is, would I have the same bad experience if I choose to go Blender instead of Maya? I don't care about stuff like FoSS philosophy or feature parity, if I have to spend money to make money, I will. I just want to know if it's true that Maya is what's expected when talking about 3D.

My character has a mechanical arm that turns into an arm cannon, like megaman. How can I achieve this in blender? Below is a picture of the arm.

How useful is an iPhone with LiDAR? I'm just getting into 3D for art and interior design for my home. It sounds cool but I'm betting it's not very useful in practice. I just imagine all the 3D scanning apps are subscriptions and Apple makes it a bitch to actually get the scans off your iPhone and onto a Windows PC.

Why do Blender tutorials suck? Like genuinely, so many of them are just awful and they're typically in one of two categories
>tutorial is too basic and teaches the bare minimum, most common among broad tut's like "HOW TO BE AN ANIMATOR IN 25 MINUTES!"
>tutorial teaches you exactly how to do one specific method of doing something but will not explain why this method works, what is actually happening with each action, or if other methods exist
It makes learning this program hell. There's so many tools and I want to learn what they all do and WHY I would use them and how it interacts with other tools. It's ridiculous.
It took me almost 2 weeks to learn about TLA and how it works after digging through a ton of different animation tutorials and it makes animation 10x easier yet so many tutorials never mention it or don't even acknowledge it's existance.

Debris and clutter is my absolute kryptonite
What's your workflow for creating meshes such as the debris under the billiard table?
Making it artificially in Maya for example looks very fake and unnatural. I'd guess these might be photoscans, but all photoscans I've ever seen of debris like this looks like shit

Does anyone use this?
Why the fuck did the devs forget about adding the current value you are at when manipulating something? Like you are rotating a model but you cannot see where you at. You want to rotate to an exact 90 degree? you have to manually punch it "90" on the box, you don't see where you are in positions xyz as well too. This is fucking retarded.
Then there's the fact that loading rigs removes all previous keyframes. Having a rig loaded doesn't allow you to upload animations too. So if you want to use a walking cycle, you have to disable rigs, load the animation, then load the rig again, and each time you do this, you lose all keyframes, how the fuck do people use this? I don't want to manually make walk and run cycles all the time. I want to make the dude look like it's from HL2 so I just want to use the sequences included for walking and running, then when I want to do some specific movements I want to load IK simple biped rig and move stuff, but when I do this, the fucking "Bookmarks" disappear so I cannot tweak anything I did previously, since trying to modify motion lines without seeing where the vertexes, or keyframes or whatever the fuck you want to call it were, it will just make things jerky and fuck things up.
I still want to learn the workflow for this before I judge. I always wanted to learn this, I just love the Source engine aesthetic. And no I don't want to do porn but an actual normal animation. I've already seen the tutorials, the Valve ones get too aspie sometimes, like the pose to pose tutorial using 2 cameras at once, who does that. And then some people use the motion editor, others the graph editor. I just want to use sequences for movements, and have IK for the rest. Any experts on this?

Redpill me on the hard surface CAD to games workflow /3/. Making a high poly in Moi/Fusion/Rhino, retopoing in Maya/Max for your low-poly then baking in Substance/Marmoset isn't too dissimilar from sculpting in ZBrush and retopoing in your 3D package of choice for characters, right? I'd rather use CAD to design and sketch out weapons instead of having to mess around with vertex modelling to get what I want. Pic related is an example of some of the hard surface kits in The Callisto Protocol made this way.

Why are there like 5 different ways to add basic physics to objects in blender, half of which aren't officially supported, and every single one is fucking wonky to use and hard to figure out which one to use.
All I want to do is add some physics to a characters face so when something collides with it, it somewhat realistically reacts i.e. punching a characters face but apparently this is a really hard thing to fucking do properly. It makes me feel like i'm better off using a game engine to simulate certain type of physics
