its about choices - the more choices we have the better it is overall I would say.
ignore them if u don't play them - just like I ignore ctth, blitz, unlimited, high stakes rgs, most regular lie touneys.
I don't see why anyone would come after u, I just see this comment quite regularly, and the point of having them around is to provide choice.
its more popular than people here realise, having played the regular lie game to death, something more challenging freshens up perspective.
