Agree to large extent, which is why my own preferred set-up is less "outright fictional" than "alternative MLB universe," where I play exactly with real-life MLB teams / leagues +MiLB affiliates, all the league rules etc., the only difference is: completely fictional players and personnel.
To be honest, I'm not sure what there really is to argue about here. Can any preferred play style really claim to feel 'slighted' at the expense of another? OOTP is so feature-rich it's almost absurd. I kind of marvel that new features keep getting added because -- man, what's missing at this point? What *can't* you do? Promotion / Relegation, OK (do any professional baseball leagues do this? genuinely curious - I don't know). OOTP gets so much right and includes so much that the things it doesn't do well or doesn't include should be weighed in proper perspective, which is to say, they're on the minor / less significant scale of things.
Anyway, as the Big Lebowski said, that's just, like, my opinion, man...
