GGG doesn't play its own game.

I don't believe the 0.1 version of POE2 was designed by GGG, it must be someone else, and then GGG took it over.

That explains why 0.1 version was so amazing, pathbreaking, yet the following versions became worse an worse, and more and more like POE1, and why GGG seems don't really understand their own game.
