Ultimately, CPU schedulers are about choosing which attributes to weigh more heavily. See this[0] diagram from Github. EEVDF isn't a straight upgrade on CFS. Nor is LAVD over either.

Just traditionally, Linux schedulers have been rather esoteric to tune and by default they've been optimized for throughput and fairness over everything else. Good for workstations and servers, bad for everyone else.
