Quit pretending that most people agree with you, that's not something you can possibly know.
Ask every crafter on every server and I guarantee you most will say they hate it. Many many server-leading crafters have quit because the system is objectively bad. Anyone who defends it is the 1% that ruins games by making awful requests that result in bad game design. If you can't figure out why this system is bad, I truly feel for your well-being.
