Why does everyone overcook chicken thighs? I keep seeing dry chicken on here

I swear every other post I see has someone saying they baked thighs at 400 for 45 minutes or something. I get it, I used to do that too. But man, thighs are supposed to be juicy, not shoe leather. I switched to searing them skin down in a cast iron for like 5 minutes then finishing at 375 until 165 internal. Takes maybe 20 minutes total. My wife actually said last week that my chicken tastes better than her mom's now. Am I crazy or is everyone just scared of undercooking? What temp do you guys pull yours at?

Heard my buddy brag about his thighs and then served me chalky ones an hour later.
