There's lots out there. I love XIV, but I won't have a sword held over my head.

And I certainly do understand the down sides of mods, as you point out. But the customization they offer, that's not on "that" end of the 1%'ers and the must have etc etc, is still a discussion owrth having.... I mean, looking at something like Eve... The amount of setup you have to do just for mandatory mumble set up, and lots of "must have discord", "must have mic" really makes the no-to-add-ons point moot. Not to mention that a bad tank does not need numbers for others to see I'm a bad tank... Or not prepared, didn't watch the yt video etc etc.... There are lots of "must haves" out there for any game. I just don't think one should single out add-ons because it's the lowest hanging fruit.
You can discuss it on Reddit or X. Discussing it here is asking for trouble.
