Removing resin supports is worse, if anything.
They leave little bumps where they're cut off that you have to then try to VERY VERY gently sand off without bending or breaking said fiddly models.
To be fair, that is true of all miniatures and model kits. It is generally less noticeable if you are dealing with injection molded sprues as a good pair of nippers can get you most of the way. But it is still good to have some sandpaper to touch things up.
Hell, I use an old pair of nippers to remove supports and overhangs from a lot of my "normal" prints.
... and now I am really curious what a 3d printed runner would be. Might do a proof of concept/experiment in onshape.
My comment was more FDM vs resin support removal, and that it's not like resin is all sunshine and rainbows.
If anything, modern tree supports for FDM have fixed the giant-blob-of-plastic problem with supports you'd previously get on smaller models, where you'd end up with, uh, well, a giant blob of plastic stuck to an arm or a sword or whatever.
Still not fantastic, but until someone figures out antigravity, it's what it is.
