I’ve only been on Linux about a year. I started with Bazzite and then switched to Garuda. Garuda is Arch based but has always been fast and easy, even with an Nvidia card.
I’m pretty sure this is a joke about yay (“Yet Another Yogurt - An AUR Helper Written in Go”), when you have it installed you can just type yay into the terminal and update your system including all AUR packages.

Am I missing something? Arch seems fine.

You might be using the AUR and don’t even know it. The Chaotic AUR repository might be enabled and i think it is enabled by default on garuda.
The chaotic aur is a bunch of pre compiled versions of apps from the AUR. It doesn’t have all the AUR packages but it has a bunch.
You can check by looking for
[chaotic- aur]in your/etc/pacman.conffile.grep "\[chaotic-aur]" /etc/pacman.confIf enabled pacman will handle those packages without the need for an aur helper like yay.
Super helpful info, thanks!
