120-240mm AIO/sealed, low cost, WC systems

It's not meant as a competitor to DIY LC systems, but for high-end air.

Yeah that's precisely where the battles are fought, and neither has won conclusively.
It really depends on ones needs/set-up/budget...

For most ATX cases/mobo's it can be well argued that top-end air is still better value than closed low-end LC systems.
But it starts to shift strongly in favour of the latter when you move towards mATX cases/mobo's.
