I like the Snapdragon Pho, although I can't stand the chili oil they put in it. Instead, I use a spoon of Chili Crisp and/or throw some kimchi in it after the noodles are cooked. It's not really pho, but it is really good for how easy it is to prepare!

If you mean the dry-shelf instant noodle bowls, then yes. I think of those as an alternative to ramen noodles since they don't need refrigeration and cook in a similar manner. In both cases, there's no pretense of either having fresh ingredients or being anything like a complete dinner-style meal. I like instant ramen (especially with an egg and some greens in it) and I like the instant pho (also preferred with greens, but no egg).

While I expect dry instant noodles to be a minimal affair that one might opt to dress up, I thought the Pad Thai would be more of a complete meal -- and it is, but it didn't taste much like Pad Thai. I understand that bean sprouts are impossible to keep shelf-stable, but Snapdragon could have included little packets of peanuts and chill flakes to improve the meal.

It is easy insta-food, so just look at it as a day without needing to plan or cook. That said, if you have roasted peanuts and/or cilantro to use as garnish, I think both will improve the meal.
