abstract
In this note we discuss the strong coupling issues inherent to the defining requirement for the so-called Einsteinian Cubic Gravity and its quasi-topological generalisations.

Pure R^2 gravity propagates three degrees of freedom nonlinearly but zero linearly around Minkowski and other traceless-Ricci R=0 spacetimes due to ten second-class constraints becoming first-class upon linearization.
New exact charged black hole solutions in (2+1)D f(Q) gravity with cubic form yield a novel AdS solution without GR counterpart, with multiple horizons, stable thermodynamics, and stable photon orbits.
Higher-curvature gravities are constructed in which both FLRW backgrounds and linearized scalar perturbations obey at most second-order differential equations.
Hamiltonian analysis reveals degenerate constraints on singular surfaces in f(R) gravity, leading to empty spectra on certain backgrounds and regularity conditions for dynamical crossings in Starobinsky model.
