5. We don't know how much the 9700K will limit the potential performance of the 3070 because it has not been released yet so we have no idea how it actually performs. I would guess it won't limit too much performance

The reviews of the 3080 went live yesterday. And even a r5 3600 does not bottleneck the GPU at all. So a 9700Kf will be completely fine with a 3070.

 

(Sure, a 10900K is "better", but the extra performance gain is not noticeable and certainly doesn't justify an upgrade.)

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.
