Same with shit like Barbarians can read and Druids being able to wear metal armor. All the old flavor is dead and buried. Classes may as well not exist. No one wants to roleplay anymore, they want to rollplay, and all character creation is just vidya tier where all you care about are optimizing mechanics for your build. No one picks Warlock because they like the idea of being a Faustian deal making evil power seeker who took the easy route, they take it because Eldritch Blast is force damage that bypasses most resistances and can be optimized to do 2d10 damage+push back at low levels.
As I already malded about earlier, the alignment system was a product of a different class of nerds, the hybrid theater kid/military history/adventure geek that liked fantasy before anime and vidya existed and wanted to collaborate and share a worldbuilding adventure with other like-minded friends. It's no wonder it's reviled by the nitwit emotionally stunted narcissistic (sorry "main character syndrome") amoral post 2005 nerds who came into the hobby through Warcraft and ReZero. The alignment system is a solid hard "No!" to their bullshit, and this is a generation that can't handle being told they can't have everything they want.
