Although they are claiming they can run JS on while digging the page but this is not 100% true.

This is wrong. The Google Bot runs the latest Chrome.

Also in general comparing CRA vs Next.js is like Apples and Oranges. CRA is a boilerplate for client-side rendered React, while Next.js is a server framework like Express that uses React for the views (which you can also with bare Express).

I am agree with you! There are some cases you might wanna go with CRA! I still prefer CRA for some projects!
Next.JS has something fancy stuff like
Hybrid Rendering
Image optimization
SEO friendly tags like Head
and most importantly Inbuilt routing system!
