"too late" Is just a lazy way to not combat the issue, though yeah, of course you are correct with what you are saying, but just because it has existed for a while now and is in certain cases needed in our current preception of the game, doesn't mean something bad should remain the way it is.

Fact is, that its not innovative at all. Its sort of a sickness that needs to be removed. The game is complicated and beginner unfriendly as it is, even without this.
GR has introduced serval things, that one of those things just didn't quite work out in ambitions attempts to be unique is to be expected. I believe its not an good game desing choice to keep something in just because "We got used to it", while its actively causing problems with every person that stumbles over it for the frist time.

Its frankly very annoying for new people and the people that are nice enough to help with it. We have to take a hit somewhere, to make the game accessable for new players aswell. any bit that makes it easier for them, is good for the future of the game, I believe, to keep new blood flowing in.
