Well, the $GGRP in particular naturally comes off unfavorably in the 5-year comparison.
Since its launch (accumulating variant), it had even outperformed the world until recently and its dividend growth was even ~14% p.a..
This year has punished it quite a bit, but that can change again quickly.
I'm not a fan of most dividend ETFs either, but I have grown fond of $GGRP $FGEQ and $TDIV. You can have a really good and relaxed dividend strategy without the market completely running away from you.
Nevertheless, I agree with you that in terms of pure returns, the World will certainly always perform better.

@Banana_Millionaire Yes, GGRP surprised me too, because I also knew about the outperformance. Nevertheless, those were the obvious facts to begin with.
As explained, I'm not saying that I think it's wrong to invest in them.
I just see that somehow many people here are also considering investing and I am moving very quickly in the direction of these dividend singers (i.e. mainly) beginners and they should really make themselves aware of the differences. => that's what my contribution is for. (Or also in the direction of AllWorlds, which also leaves a lot behind)
