It's not to "justify being bad", nor asking for a removal of CDs. You are using outliers as a generality here.
Some people don't like the mechanic. And not having a single melee DPS job without positionals is disappointing. That's all.

Not everything revolves around being good or bad. There is no slippery slope or any kind. Just a legitimate request not to see an already dying mechanic being kept for no reason to the point of not having a single alternative.
But there's nothing objective about it being a dying mechanic. I and other players like it, at most just wanting some fixes to visual/actual discrepancies. I'd be fine also with seeing the bonuses be something other than pure skill-gap forming damage, maybe providing future safety or mobility for risks or forced movement taken with positionals. But I like moving around my enemies. It's fun.

That's not to say I'd be opposed to an alternative, so long as it provides me with the same need to think ahead a bit. But I don't want it to see it removed just because some people have difficulty with it. I'm sure some people have difficulty with stutter-casting or oGCD weaving as well, and would like to see those people less negatively affected by their latency, but I certainly don't want to see those aspects of gameplay outright removed.
