Trying to understand computer technology is melting my brain. I understand the abilities of varying GPUs and CPUs and even RAM. What I don’t get is what makes a motherboard good or bad. Isn’t it just the circuitry that everything talks to each other through? If it’s made of the same material and has the same ports how can it be good or bad in comparison to another of like build quality?

Tldr. Quality and stability of the power delivery, the number of PCI lanes available, and premium IO like high speed / redundant LAN and number of high speed USB.
