People usually simply find it more productive to work with and focus on what they've got than participate in the discussions of what ifs. It's the same deal when someone comes in and talk about how they'd like to see egis reworked for summoners, they get shot down right away because there's very little merit to discussing these ideas in the scope of improving summoner play.

As for apopotosis though, from what I've been told it works on more things than its description implies, including abilities such as death sentence. I don't main BLM though so maybe someone more knowledgeable can confirm.
