Default Head Unit

OK, I haven't been here in a while, so.... I don't really have an issue with my current set-up. But I was just thinking about the stock H-D head unit. I looked around the forum a bit, and didn't find anything new about the issue with the sound quality when the engine is running and not running. I know it relates to bin files or whatever. Here it is like 4 or 5 years later, and now wondering if this thing was ever defeated ?
The last post I read was from 2019. Any updates ? Or is this horse dead?

The headunit bin file debacle is still the same.
The GT and GTS headunits are still the same even after the current updates. The GTS isn't as bad but still noticeable. The Soundz flash seems to be the best and the RF a close second
