That doesn't prove the inherent value of the ecosystem, it just explains its trajectory.

I have no dog in the fight whether you need tools to win or outright hack or whatever. However it's worth noting refutations to the original post are lacking, even when they appear credible "this job or function was broken absent our intervention".
Players have been asking for a netcode fix since ARR but because it isn't a problem in Japan where everyone has sub 30 ping SE won't fix it. People have brought the issue up to Yoshi P in person.

So yeah people are gonna use what they need and have pretty hair.
