The devs could just do nothing or do the wrong thing, which is what happened with MNK's Anatman and Six-Sided Star.
I'm glad that you like it but the overwhelming majority of SAM mains don't share your opinion. I think most of us think Kaiten feels good to use because it gave Iaijutsus more juice, and more importantly it gave the Kenki gauge more than 1 use (Hissatsu: Shinten spam). Removing Kaiten is akin to making all MNK Nadis the same type, simplifying a job resource so much it may as well not exist.
