The issue is that "players" is an enormous group of people. What any one of us personally considers the "best" or "enjoyable" others could find the complete opposite. We're getting mechanics that double down on what certain players don't like...but others do. Times change, the playerbase changes, and the dev team goes with what works best overall. It's impossible to please everyone, so they go with the approach that pleases the most.
