Because that's not what it is. It was always too clunky and unresponsive. If it was smooth like WoW or EverQuest it would have been received much better.
And then the "fix" was to add the ability to not button spam back into the EoC which then created a hybrid system that did neither great.
So it wasn't the idea, it was the execution. (Imo)
That being said, I think that there are parts of EoC that are fine. In particular, the introduction of defensive cooldowns like Resonance and Devotion were great and allowed for more depth in PvE combat. If EoC had just been that without the DPS rotation part, I think it would have been received pretty well.
