It's only a problem if you expect them to do formal reasoning. They are fancy word predictors, useful for when your output doesn't need to be factually accurate. If you use them for things they're not designed for, you'll get bad results, but that would be your fault for using them in an incorrect manner, not the LLMs' faults. You don't use a screwdriver to bang in a nail and say the screwdriver 'has a HUGE problem' when it does a bad job.
The problem is the laymen expect it to do reasoning, so the sales & marketing team says that it can do reasoning, and then the CEO will have consumed the Kool-Aid and restructure the company because he believes it can do reasoning.
