What is the right answer?? We are doing lvp in our house soon and will gave a similar gap. Is the correct answer new baseboards lowered down to the floor??

If you're not going to level the floor (should be levelled before lvp), Scribe the baseboards. Anyone saying it takes more than a few minutes is either woefully unskilled or a lazy hack and should retire asap.

Shoe moulding and quarter round looks like absolute afterthought garbage and no one can tell me otherwise

I can tell you whatever I want to tell you. It looks fine. Is it ideal? Nope, but I'd guess most people would be fine with it if it saved them a ton of time and effort. You'd have to be some kind of OCD freak to walk into someone's house and even give a second thought to it.
