Why would min-maxers care that Balance fishing "isn't fun"? Heck, for them of all people, those trickle-down of factors and weights to determine the best gamble for a given moment and ideal situations in which to spend Redraws probably was fun. It's those who didn't understand how to game that RNG who more likely disliked it.

The actual min-maxers were plenty aware that "Balance fishing" was an oversimplification, and already knew how to make the best of that situation. At most you could say that they maybe complained that while Spear, Arrow, Ewer, and Spire all played a role directly or indirectly, Bole never did because the mitigation requirements were just never high enough to need it.

Balance-fishing wasn't about just Balance. It simply had a best option each based on the availability of Spread, whether Expand was already up, time until next "raid burst", number of Redraws remaining (which had a best time in which to be used), and the difference between your highest (raw) DPS party member and your party average.
