Some 2 stroke and even 4 stroke garden machinery engines are a pig to

My stuff is all very easy to start particularly compared to kit from a
few decades ago. I'd wondered whether they had rare earth magnets these
days (this is talking about points-free stuff). I did have to strip and
blow out the jets in a carb a couple of weeks ago, but that's the first
problem I have had in ten years.

Yes, that's my experience too. Anything that's not easy to start has
something fundamentally wrong with it that needs fixing, not a squirt
of magic spray.
