But for most people, yes, the RNG is either 50/50 or doesn't matter (for those who just throw every card on the highest damage player).

That said, if we can't get HW/SB cards back, I'd still take the 50/50 RNG of ShB/EW over the zero RNG of DT cards.
I do care about optimization, but I want that optimization to actually have an ounce of value, not just to pat myself on the back. That's why I equate Addersting to Stormblood Lilies, because even when you optimize Toxikon usage, you get basically nothing out of it. The difference in your own personal damage is less than 1%. That isn't worth respecting the mechanic to me.
