Check the boil temp of ethanol vs non-ethanol…. I have seen ethanol boil in glass/plastic fuel bowls, that causes vaporloc and engines do not run well on vapor.

I would challenge all that have never experienced a problem with E-10 to drive in an area where ambient driving temp is over 95 … you might have a new opinion….
I will agree with you in part.
Old mechanical pumps, etc. will fail after a while IF they have not been upgraded with ethanol resistant diaphragms; a cheap and easy upgrade.
