This isn't 100% true, we could still win over a debate and change could be just adding them back, not spending MORE time alternating them.
I have an easy counterfeit to your opinion:
Now, I do know that some players also mention "oh it brings back the oldgen/oldschool feeling", but the meds were there at the same time as the vials/pills were, why not use them if they wanted that type of feeling? Both meds were available to use, yet everyone seemed to only use vials/pills, and if not everyone, then majority.
