The removal of Kaiten made all kenki spenders have the same kenki-to-potency ratio, so assuming you want to save your movement abilities for when you need movement, Shinten is now your only spender. The removal of that choice and thereby simplification of the job isn't subjective.

The removal of Kaiten made the timing of your kenki spending no longer tied to sen since you no longer need to spend it prior Iaijutsu - you also no longer need kenki to use Ogi Namikiri optimally, so outside of burst windows, the timing of when you spend kenki no longer matters. That isn't subjective.

Having drastically lower burst obviously means less damage during the burst window, which obviously lessens the importance of coordinating with burst windows. That isn't subjective.

If you think you can argue that those are objectively false claims, go for it.
There hasn't been Kenki management since SE made it so you got the maximum amount of potency so long as you were in combo. So, ShB launch? Each Sen gained gave you enough Kenki to use Kiaten. In EW you had to REALLY try to not have Kenki for Kaiten. No, there was no management and claiming that Kaiten's removal simplifies things is disingenuous. That isn't subjective.

Good, your burst needed to be clipped. That is not subjective.

The other claims are just fluff that were tied to Kenki "management," which I have refuted. Try harder.
