Is he lying about something?

I’m going to assume he’s being honest, but he’s missing the bigger picture, which is, clearly people are pointing out that IBD greatly slows when it gets to about 2023. His argument seems to be it “it was fine for me so it’s not a problem”.
From my point of view I know that the 2 times I attempted to IBD on my older laptop, the first took about a month and the second time I had to give up on, because it completely stalled, (had to resync cause I accidentally corrupted the data).
It’s pretty clear to me that from my experience and from hearing other people’s experiences that IBD on older or less powerful machines is an issue especially for node adoption.
Maybe other factors such as internet bandwidth and proximity to the nodes bootstrapping yours has a great effect on IBD. However on the more powerful machine I bought, with the same internet bandwidth and proximity other nodes it took just over 2 days. This is obviously greatly reduced from 1 month, suggesting in my case at least, hardware was the greater bottle neck.
