Not directly, I think it's correlated to multiple things

First one is that she can get it on a lot of knockdowns and then still meaty or setup fish for reversal safe oki, or even get it in some 2H starter combos, so you're not losing much putting it on

People also got used to some of her quirks, at release people were claiming it's bad because it takes 10 seconds to trigger, but a lot of her kit is designed towards stalling things until it activates
Ice Field is one example since some characters can't play neutral with it and it takes 5 seconds, meaty Ice Spike > Ice Field also can't be punished by certain characters
Her throw animation lasts for almost a second
She also gets long-lasting blockstrings, Charged 6H > Charged Wild Assault > Charged 6H is literally gapless and will take around 3 seconds, on top of giving you a strike/throw mix

The other thing are her other buffs play into this a little bit
Ice Spike got its active frames doubled, which now lets her do something like 2D>Wings of Light>Fish>Ice Spike for something like +8
S Michael sword now gives HKD, which lets her do S Sword > Meaty Ice Spike > Ice Field for a fullscreen, un-punishable -5

I like Strive
