very much agree with this. some years ago i bought an ECM heat exchanger machine. It's really well built and makes great espresso but the milk steaming function is a waste of space.
It just takes too long to heat it up to steam temp, purge all water out of the wand, then steam milk. If you do the milk first, the water's too hot to make coffee.
I end up just warming up milk in a cup in the microwave then dripping the espresso straight into that.
doubtless that's a crime against coffee to some but it works ok for me.
