Again, the idea that a turntable or cartridge (or other component)
serves a certain genre of music better than some other is one of the
biggest myths in audio.

It is entirely possible to optimize the TT for one genre over another. Much of that is merely cartridge /tonearm selection. Though the selected cartridge/tonearm may be entirely fine in all other genre's, it has been voiced by its owner for one particular genre.
With regard to the motor unit, all genre's will benefit from a platter spin that doesn't change its pace, however minutely, in response to modulated stylus drag. But it will be more apparent when reproducing rock.
I maintain, different turntables for different records.
