Funnily enough, they could do this again! Nerf the Weaponskills once more and give agency to the Player to boost those nerfed Weaponskills with Kenki, how it used to be.

they just did it with Tsubamegaeshi, but I want that they also do it with Kenki itself, since that's how it used to be and what some people will bring back to Samurai.

I, for example rather sit on 20 Kenki to boost my next Weaponskill/Iaijutsu/Ogi (or Enpi, if I feel fancy) instead of sitting on 25 Kenki for Senei because it is ready in like 25 to 10 seconds.. and spend it on Shinten outside..
Can you clarify how it increases player agency to have an ability that is only used to buff the potency of iaijutsu and something that must be used for every single iaijutsu? If you weren't using kaiten for all iaijutsu, you were being suboptimal. If you were using kaiten on any other weaponskill instead of just pressing shinten when you had kenki to spare, you were being suboptimal.

Kaiten was a zero agency ability, so I really want to know why you think it increased player agency in any meaningful way. It's just a different button to press that must be pressed before every iaijutsu usage. Were you just misusing kaiten? It was never a dps gain to use it for anything other than iaijutsu.

Since you suggested you would use kaiten on enpi, I am pretty sure you were just misusing kaiten.
