Are we naive because we use steppers or because we dont know what is happening. I have used steppers on both systems for a long time. If the machine is operated within decent operating limits, you will not have any problems whatsoever. Even when running steppers. Dont believe that servos are any better, I replace them often with steppers. Closed loop control is only as good as the mechanical conditions allow.
And yes, a machine that does not perform correctly will mostly have incorrect settings. Or a heap of other rubbish running on the machine that has nothing to do with CNC. I use the PC on a machine just for that and nothing else. It is a machine controller after all, not a games PC or the like. I use a ATOM 525 on all the upgrades or new machines that I build. If done correctly, no problems at all.
