There is plenty of other things you can bake it into, like AE on flank instead of back, (losing the extra Position dmg, but getting the utility). I'm not opposed to any tradeoffs, I just dont see why it's an extra button. On the PC you can do some keyboard acrobatics + mouse buttons to deal with it (I'm on PC btw), but for console any button you can get rid of by merging abilities with 2 different outcomes based on conditions, is extremely helpful, hell it's also helpful for PC. This is inconvenience for the sake of inconvenience.

Essentially this is how it goes now:

Case 1: need to refresh Huton:
SE -> GS -> (move to flank) AC

Case 2: don't need to refresh huton (and DE is up)
SE -> GS -> AE

If it was baked into say AE:

Case 1: Need to refresh Huton
SE -> GS -> (move to flank) AE

Case 2: No need to refresh Huton (back pos AE for dmg)
SE -> GS -> AE
