That's because you weren't dealing with 20MHz noise.

Hobbyists are not dealing with 20MHz noise issues. Period. And if you are actually crazy enough to deal with high frequency circuits like that, you would well know that the land of through hole designs is simply insufficient, and that you are probably somewhere with some 0402 capacitors and some tweezers right now.

That is just straight up not correct

It happens. Not often, but it does happen and it depends on the hobbyist and what they're up to (but you won't be sticking that together on a breadboard). Also: if you start using HCT, AHC or even G parts where you don't really need them it can happen to you in places where you don't normally expect it. Those things have crazy fast rise times.

What makes you think that?

Edit: FWIW I consider 20MHz to be basically audio.
