Vega is fine. People judge it based on the "high-end" desktop GPUs, but the architecture scales up really badly. It's actually pretty fast and efficient for APUs.

How is the 3700C different from the 3700U (just curious).
I'm with you there... but I think that sadly it won't be the case.
The 5000 series APUs with probably have Zen3 + Vega still, but the 6000 will have navi for sure.

I read somewhere recently in the last month's time that the APU's for up-and-coming generations will be a mix of lower-end units having Vega, and better ones having Navi. Don't hold me to that quote exactly, but that was the gist of it.

Vega really needs to die, it was bad, it still is. Just let it die, AMD.
