The problem isn't the use of Str accessories. That has been a common thing since the Coil days. As soon as your primary gear outclasses the Trial/Raid, people swapped to Str gear. The problem is the general attitude and mentality of the new breed of tanks that have made an appearance in HW, thinking that they can substitute for a Dps. SE is, partly, responsible for perpetuating this attitude, because they designed a bunch of Trial/Raids that require almost no technical mechanics an have difficulty that only scales directly with DPS output. This kind of thing enables the silly minded people who think they can completely forego doing their actual job in favour of SICK DEEPS!

If SE is really planning on going back to mechanic heavy fights in 3.2 than it might solve some of the problem (replacing it with a new generation of Dps-Tanks that have no idea how to avoid simple mechs) but it won't change the viability of using Str accessories. Even Pld's get a better use for Str/Det than they do out of Vit, especially when they start over- gearing.
