On one side, I get there is a limit for everything, and just because someone like a bit of pain they don't want a root channel without anesthesia.

On another side, GGG made a career by sticking to their guns and creating a hardcore game based on grind so who am I to argue when they decide to stick to their guns and raise the grind?

I just know it isn't the game to casual me. PoE players are built different.
