I've seen the generation mentioned first in almost all places. For example https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/laptops/xps-15-laptop/spd/xp... lists "9th generation Intel core i5". How come people pay attention to the other number more?

They pay more attention to the other number because that's how the English language works. "9th generation" is a descriptive prefix to the actual CPU model name.
I don't get why not a single brand other than Apple gets product names remotely right. Every time a relative asks me for a laptop recommendation and shows me a list of models I have absolutely no clue what to tell them. All the model numbers look like they came from a password generator and the only discernible difference without hours of looking at spec sheets is the price.

PlayStation. The name is brilliant and they’ve incremented the index each release since the first about 25 years ago.
(I know it’s a different product category. It’s relevant because it’s name and number is perfect)
