The Devs need a much needed thanks!

Well Yoshi-P's "Vision" back in ARR and Heavensward wasn't the same as now. And when he first talked about ARR changes during 1.2X he had a very different idea for what the focus and player expression would be for battle content.

So before you Yoshida worshippers continue using "their vision" as a way to say some of us are wrong, well, YOU were the ones who made him NOT stick to their original visions. If you think the game is fantastic now, it wasn't because they were sticking to their vision.. It was because they didn't.

To be fair, nobody forced the devs to change their vision. Although I actually would believe thats the case as it's been a consistent thing for Yoshida to never stick to huge absolutes with many of his statements. But this is how businesses usually are, you adapt to the standards of the gaming audience and a lot has changed from 2012 to 2022 in gaming.
