Depends if all they use it for is wow…
But on that note I don’t use curesforge
I just run a script in my terminal that goes to all their GitHub pages and downloads the new version of the addon the ones that I use

a small minority of people don’t want add-ons because they think it gives an unfair advantage to others. The reality is unless my addon is telling you something, you’d never know i was running any, and i would never know you were either.
TL;DR people need to mind their own business.

OP people like that take their opinion with a grain of salt. Any addon used should be purely to personal preference.

That’s not really most of the complaints. Many of the people who don’t like combat addons are using them, they just don’t like how complex endgame content has gotten in order to still provide a challenge with all improvements to situational awareness that players have from addons. The devs have stated this themselves that have had to adjust their encounter mechanics to keep up with addons.

The majority of people who make threads on this forum about it complain about what i stated above is all I’m saying, I’m sure there are other reasons, but it still comes down to people miding their own business.

Personally I don’t care that much, but its not a matter of minding your own business when the game they are playing too is being designed around having addons.

The answer can usually be obtained by threatening to take an add-on away, seeing what users get mad about then asking why that feature isn’t a part of the base UI.
To be fair, if you are raiding on the heroic level and below you need zero add-ons to play. The game is doing a better job this xpack and appropriately telling you when things happen.

That doesn’t change the fact that they still make the game easier and improve your situational awareness. If they didn’t people wouldn’t bother, that’s the whole point of them.

Because with the existence of add-ons, the designers have to take them into account when creating encounters. And some feel that the encounters are more difficult without the optional add-ons.
They also don’t like folks using add-ons on places like the AH, they think that somehow the add-ons would make stuff cheaper, or easier to sell, or any of the other nonsense folks make up.

The main use of addons is to customize the UI, as you rightly point out.
Blizzard’s “revamp” of the UI in Dragonflight was a bust. I wasn’t able to remove even a single add-on. (Why didn’t they include coordinates? I could have at least removed TomTom if they had, but they didn’t even manage that much.)
But I think the biggest problem standing in Blizzard’s way is that actually customizing the UI like people use addons for would be so complicated that it would overwhelm many of the users who currently aren’t using addons.
For example, I used a combo of weakauras, icehud, and shadowed unit frames for my UI, and it evolved over many years. If Blizzard added that sort of customization into the base game, some of my RL friends who play WoW would just go into shutdown mode when faced with it.
