If you think of them as just an express way of doing multiple prisms at once (that can only be done in cities), it makes a lot more sense as to why there's no downside to it over prisms. They're not 2 separate systems, they're the same glamour system, just 2 different ways of using "cast glamour".

And because they're the same system, you can mix them. You can do some glamours with prisms and then do other glamours with plates, you can overwrite glamours from plates with prisms, and vice versa. The glamour system itself does not change, just how you cast it (and how many glamour prism items are needed to do it).
I could very well just need to get used to the system. While in town, I like to switch up a few outfits for fun, and I definitely don't have enough plates for all of those outfits. So I suppose I need to figure out which I want to use as proper gear sets vs. fluff items to keep on hand.

Also, removing the plate glamour is annoying at the moment, but it sounds like they're addressing that with the patch.
