IBecause to achieve true SOVL you need a bit of crustiness, When everything is smoothed over and optimized for fun™ it loses charm and originality. Templates are one of the things I think of most about this. I still remember how annoying it was having to manually space your squad out after every move. Blast removes that but it's just not the same, you lose that very visual guide for what was happening on the battlefield.

Same for destroyed vehicles remaining on the battlefield or teleporter variance.
