Afaik yes, the wear layer is thicker and more durable and the manufacturing process is much more advanced.
Looking at those photos you'd of had issues laying a laminate / engineered wood / solid wood floor as well. Subfloor needed much more attention paid to it than was given.

Christ is that the utility room in question??
@Cornish_Bike flooring whilst not to my taste, looks like a mint job (you’d expect it at the price) but it’s one of those things that ties spaces together and feels like money well spent. In our new house there’s a mixture of flooring, none is particularly bad and some nice wood block parque but the inconsistency is a little jarring

That’s put me right off. I’ve got crappy plastic looking tile stuff in the hall I want to replace because it’s looking worse for wear. Maybe real tiles would be better? It has under floor heating there already, but I am worried about slippery when wet

What are you going to replace it with? Or is the aim a fix?
I've always thought for a utility room that red or grey stuff that restaurant kitchens have where it molds into a skirting board would be best.

Sounds like a shit situation to be in.
Lvt does need special attention paid to the subfloor before laying it. But laying a wood floor still needs the sub floor to be in a pretty good state.
It is a good product when it all goes right but I can understand why in your situation you may not see this.
