I miss adjustable magnets

But not on premium cubes like MoYu and GAN
hmm
Here are some popular cubes i found based on your search query:
GAN 16 Maglev Max/Maglev
GAN 15 Maglev
GAN 12 Maglev
MoYu Super Weilong V2
MoYu Super Weilong
MoYu Huameng TG
MoYu Super Aolong
Dayan Guhong Pro Plus
Dayan Zhanchi V5
Qiyi XMan Tornado V4
Qiyi X-man Tornado V3 Premium

that’s just to name a few

Again, CORE magnets on most of these, and the GAN 15 sux.

You forgot GAN14 (1296 PoSsIbLe cOmBiNaTiOnS!!1!!1!!!11!!1)
 
It's just that the PIECE magnets are the main thing that you feel, that CORE mags aren't impacting your solve as much.
Yeah, but the core magnets help make the cube feel smoother. Plus, tension and center piece travel improvements have come a long way, and adjusting those (in my opinion) does just about as much as having stronger or weaker piece magnets. If you are relying on strong piece magnets to finish turns, you need to practice on a cube with no magnets so you can improve your turn accuracy.

Stronger core magnets create a stronger "bump" with a wider angle of attraction, and stronger piece magnets create a stronger "snap" with a very small angle of attraction. I like it when you can adjust both of these, but as long as I can at least feel a snap from the piece magnets, I'm good.

The core mags do autoalignment, but that isn't significant.

Yeah I don't know if I agree with this. For the Zhanchi v5 I have the center cap magnets at the strongest setting and the core magnets at the second strongest settings. Edge magnets I have at the weakest. This gives it a very unique feel that wouldn't be possible if I only touched the edges. Adjustment in all areas 100% makes an impact. You say piece [edge] magnets are the main thing you feel; I say, I don't feel them very much.

On my main, the Huameng TG, I have the core magnets set to 2, and I have to have the piece magnets on at least the 2nd strongest setting to actually feel them. On the weakest/second weakest settings, I can't even feel them at all.

Agreed, I barely feel the edge magnets on my RS3M V5, but then again that doesn't have adjustable magnets.

That's cause they're on LOW, you literally just said this.

I think you're missing the point I was making with that. Yes, having the magnets on a weaker setting will make them not as strong and less noticeable.
This is true and obvious.
The point I was making is that you are saying that piece magnets are the "MAIN" thing and that core magnets don't impact "your", (whoever you were addressing) solving as much. I made the point that your claim is is not absolute because it completely contradicts my experience. In my experience core magnets are more important and I prefer less magnet strength in my edge-to-cornet magnets.
Now, of course, having weak edge magnets will make the cube less stable and more, let's say, flexible. To counteract this you need stronger core magnets. This makes core magnets an essential customisability feature and something that I personally put more of a priority on.

Ok, I get it. They are equal in necessity. 🙂 (I don't have a cube with core mags... 😅)

I agree, that's why I have a Rubik's brand. I use it to practice turn accuracy and lockup minimising.
If you rely on only edge magnets to finish turns and correct alignment, what happens when you are going too fast and the magnets don't fix the alignment? Practicing accuracy when turning is just as if not more important than really strong edge magnets.
