Monk Needs a Complete Rework

I recently came back to the game I haven't played since Iceheart first appearance and Ninja was released. My question is did we get that revamp? I noticed a lot of my skills are missing but according to this thread that happened expansions ago.

They've removed a ton of skills yes, however the lost skills are basically just creating an illusion of change. If you played Monk in ARR/Heavensward it plays very similarly to how it did then but with less skills and more RNG to build a resource that gets used identically to Steel Peak. There's still positionals on every weaponskill and Monk still has an excess of useless/overly situational skills some of which are completely unchanged from how they were in ARR.

Monk however didn't get a revamp in Heavensward/Stormblood/Shadowbringers proper. Though the developers have promised such before but they've never actually materialized it, what's basically happened is over the last two expansions they've removed skills at lower levels and replaced them with something similar but weirder functionality at higher levels.
