Which is why in the playermade polls it was rated the lowest out of all casters? and why player have complained about its problematic design for almost 2 years?

People play it, thats something no one can deny but a playerbase doesn't mean that people like it as it is nor that its design is without serious problems, a lot of people are neutral about it and play it because it simply doesn't offer any challenge and its flashy and that by itself isn't against increasing it skill ceiling. What a lot of people fail to understand is that a skill ceiling increase doesn't have to be at the cost of the skill floor and as you said:

There is a massive player base 95 percent of which wouldn’t be able to see any noticeable difference between their BLM and one that reads a 64 page...
There would also be a massive playerbase that woudn't even notice the difference between a fully optimized SMN and theirs so, why is an issue that SMN gets a bit of skill ceiling?

Most people simply don’t care to that level and this is a product for the masses.
If this is a product of the masses why are you so against including more people in the SMN design and not only those who want to turn their brain off?
