The curse of optimization.

People feel compelled to use them in order to advance/unlock things faster.

They're fun to stumble on, but once you know how to do them it's hard to make other choices which are obviously less powerful.

Having them be possible in custom game modes wouldn't be so bad if they were just for challenge and didn't tie into the unlock/progression system.
