It just means that true hidden mini quests, chests hidden off the beaten path and treasures hidden organically to draw your attention towards a particular landmark will be gone. Back in 1.0 Liyue they made exceptionally clever use of terrain and chest placements to get you to suddenly notice scalable cliffs or concealed paths in the distant horizon, but in Nod-Krai everything will just be a random hilichurl guarded chest thrown around a corner.
Since we're getting even less maps per full version now Hoyo themselves know that the chests and open world puzzles serve little purpose beyond just being a fraction of the primogem economy, so they're giving people the tools to sweep up their once-per-3-months allowance as fast as possible

Only brainlets and people who don't actually enjoy Genshin are celebrating this change
