The people claiming they are casuals who would be good enough if the evil elite players werent using add ons are the reason.

They arent going to put the work into porting WoW to console for the barely there console mmo population.
Its to appease the “i’d totally be good if others werent using add ons” crowd. They’ve been doing everything for this “casual” crowd since wotlk.
