By the time of Shadowbringers, you have so much mobility that it's more convenient to play. (Though, Shadowbringers SMN is where it goes downhill for different reasons)

It wasn't a hard job to play. The people who complain either didn't bother to understand how the job works or was still stuck to thinking it was the weird mess it was during ARR/HW days.
The little amount of 'complexity' it had before is now gone, and now it's just boring.
I mean pet clunkiness in 6.0 is minimal lol. We barely have pets.
