I agree with the first point, but I would use “simplifying” over dumbing down xD but I feel you.
For the second point well that’s more a personal feeling more than technical. I agree in part, homogenisation is boring but functional in a way. In savage raiding environment hopefully all tanks will be feeling the same. DRK never had a spot in optimised raiding group because without Sam didn’t have slashing and with the old mp management was difficult to optimise dmg. PLD was dealing much less than a WAR and poor PLD players were feeling like sidekicks when MT and OT should have exactly same value. Let’s see with time how people feel about this new homogenisation
