Low end GPUs are in a pretty bad place atm. This is no exception. If needed this card almost requires PCI-e 4.0 for it to be competitive. It will have a terrible resale value.

Let's be honest......we shouldn't be buying gpus now unless they are needed (not wanted) as prices are continuing to fall due to very obvious factors. Low demand from mining crash, flood of used gpu's again from mining crash, over supply by manufacturers and retailers, new models in the wind (might be pushed back to clear out over supply), lower demand from jaded customers, AMD/Nvidia wafer orders for next gen being over estimated (that have already been paid for and TSMC is not changing them), and inflation/energy concerns.

AMD and Nvidia will most likely pull some shenanigans with next gen as demand won't be as high as they hoped and their wafer orders are already set in stone. So there will be an oversupply of dies......what they decide to do with that oversupply will most likely come at the cost of customers.

Roughly comparable to Nvidia GTX 780 Ti. Ancient tech.

I don't know what the point of comparing cheap current cards to ancient expensive cards is.
6500 XT is a cheap and low end card and the 780 Ti was an expensive high end card. 780Ti retailed for around $650.

But 6500XT is better than GTX 1050 TI or GTX 1650. Which is more relevant to buying cards today in this price range.

People can wait for prices to drop and most people should if they're not in an immediate need. But if someoene wants/needs a NEW card today and have less than $200 to spend then I dont' think theres any other better values out there.

People love to rag on this card, but it will play anything quite well at 1080p. Decent option for a budget build. Pair it with an intel with iGPU and you won't even miss the missing VCE encoder.

Why? Spend a bit more money for an RX 6600 that is acceptable value or a used GTX 1070.

Isn't this card comparable to some $200 cards from like 6 years ago outside of better power efficiency?

The weak side of it is fine with me, I have limited requirements but not at this price point.

I believe those "ancient tech" cards won't do 4k@60hz over HDMI (unless you do lower chroma subsampling). The 6500XT seems to be the cheapest card that does HDMI 2.1.
