Why do people say cats stink?

I really don’t understand why a lot of people seem to say this. Every time I’ve gone into someone’s place who had a cat, if it stank it was because the cat litter was dirty af and they didn’t clean it. Even still, the cat itself didn’t stink lol.

I have a cat myself and buy the most absorbent smell proof litter I can get my hands on, and scoop out immediately after every use and do a change every couple of days and wash the litter tray well and disinfect etc. my cat doesn’t stink, my place doesn’t stink.

people also say you just get used to its smell but I got my cat about a year ago so she’s relatively new and there was literally no smell from the get go.
