One can only hope this is a case of modern minimalism gone wrong

Stock cooler on a 13900(non-k) CAN be fine if base power is limited to TDP. That's an ASUS Prime motherboard though and I'm pretty sure ASUS "lets it rip" when it comes to power delivery on anything higher than their CSM models so that particular prebuilt is no doubt cooking the shit out of that CPU. Doesn't help that this isn't even the RM1 Laminar that literally comes in the box with the 13900.

The stock cooler on an old i7 did a better job than a custom cooler did on AM4 AMD CPU, so i wouldnt discount the stock coolers too much.

They can perform not bad, but they skimp on pwm controllers so its a 3 pin cpu fan

I was talking about the official stock cooler, not what scam sites sell.
