My theory is that “alt friendly” is different for everyone and when Blizz says “alt friendly” they have a company outline of what that means. To some players their idea of alt friendly may align perfectly with Blizz’s idea and to other players what Blizz thinks is totally wrong.
All the “60 only” stuff you mentioned I don’t care about, not to start an argument or say what you care about is wrong but only to illustrate that even among players alt friendly isn’t universal.
