And that's the issue. Why even make a feature most of your playerbase and potential playerbase couldn't do and veil that as "growing the game"?

You say "that's your own issue", but the gaming market has realized that's not just your issue, but the issue of millions over millions of people as well and consequently decided to address that issue in their design. That's what you call "bending over for them". And that's what turned gaming from a niché activity of kids into a mainstream phenomenon and a great market.
