I mean, I'd hate it as well, but I already avoid D&D, and Wizards of the Coast has shown over and over again that they're more than happy to burn out committed fans in order to chase the potential of new players. Also maybe it's just the pick-up games that I've been in, but playing a creative character is often a huge part of the draw that people come in for. People are becoming aware of TTRPGs through improv comedy clips on TikTok from funny people like Critical Role or Dimension20, and those are the moments they want to emulate.
