I've been shooting and hunting for 35 years I think I'm fine. And lets not pretend like we're working on rockets over here, its a scope, I could go out and use it for 100 hours straight if I were being paid to do it, but since 99.99999% of us on here are out having fun shooting or hunting I plan on using things that are comfortable in 2021

^ this.
If you've been master guns for 3 decades and can't figure out the options to optimize mounting an optic for you on the same application that literally thousands of other people are successfully using for the same purpose, you're probably not as shit hot in the game as you think you are.
The user is obviously the issue in this equation. It's a bitter pill, but if you swallow it it can help you get past your issues.
You don't need to listen to everyone but you should consider listening to someone other than yourself.
I agree that offered mounts for most thermals are behind the curve for our use.
I've been adding a YHM or other riser for quite a while so my thermals sit higher, for all the same reasons we've use 1.73" or higher mounts on LPVO for the past decade +. The ocular lens on my thermal guns sit at roughly the same distance aft of the CH as it does on most of my LPVO equipped guns.
I just had a buddy run through the same "this sucks" thing back in March.
Takes a known well zeroed gun: Bang miss, bang miss then comes at me with the "these setups suck. I can't see out of this"
I reply: dude, you're not anatomically special, mount the gun in a proper shooting position.
I take the gun & rattle off a decent 3 shot 100yd group & hand it back.
He goes Bang miss, bang miss again and comes up off the gun in frustration to take a minute.
I take a pic of him mounting the gun "naturally" with his 50years of shooting and hunting experience and then he see's what I see. It looks like he's cupping his ear onto his clavicle & trying to shoot. Finally the light bulb came on for him that he may actually have been the issue.
He struggled against his "natural" feel, got into a decent position and was able to bring the rounds in on target.
