If that's the conclusion you're drawing, I'd say you've missed a fair few points here. To reiterate once again: I, and many others if I'm not mistaken, have little to no issue with the idea. It is the implementation that is questionable.

The tool is obviously more powerful than it needs to be regardless of who is using it, you could erase half its features and upgrades and it would still be a pretty powerful item.

I think more than anything the criticism is coming from a place of mechanical critique, which is extremely commonplace on these forums. It has nothing to do with disparaging anyone for wanting representation in DND.
