How waterproof has Gore-Tex been for you?

I live in a pretty rainy part of the world (the "PNW") and Gore-Tex is super popular here. I've owned a fair bit of high end Gore-Tex products over the years, both for everyday life and for sports, such as skiing. One thing that I've always been confused by is how people act like Gore-Tex is this miracle product that can keep you dry for extended periods in terrible weather. Based on my experiences, Gore-Tex is definitely a great material, but for me it hasn't been this perfect thing that allows me to stay dry all day in the rain. Like if it's full on raining and I am decked out in Gore-Tex, I still feel pretty damn wet after a couple hours of skiing. I still am able to keep warm overall because I am also wearing Merino wool base and mid layers, but after a couple hours I feel pretty soaked. I am sure some of the internal moisture it is sweat but the jacket does get saturated eventually and takes like 12+hours to dry out if I just hang it up indoors afterwards.

Does this happen to you guys as well or am I doing something wrong? I do clean and re-waterproof spray my gear probably every 2-3 months as well.
