Is chaos damage better than physical PoE2?

In Path of Exile 2, Chaos damage is generally considered to be in a weaker spot compared to physical damage, making it not inherently better in most scenarios. While Chaos damage bypasses or deals double damage to Energy Shield, it is difficult to scale, and enemy resistance makes it less effective than physical damage.
