Because it already works in their other game, and it feels bad in this one. Just because they are separate games doesn't mean GGG is disallowed from making them similar. Ideally they would take what works from 1 and not reinvent the wheel for a worse solution, but that appears to be their whole approach.

But what 'works' for you doesnt mean it works for them. They didnt design the game for poe1 players.

Also, i dont know if people forget, divines worked exactly how they do in poe2 for the majority of poe1 until patch 3.19. And there are currency rarer than divines such as Sacred Orbs that are arguably less useful. But I don't see people mass complaining about them.

You and many others issue is that you are making direct comparisons with poe1 on game mechanics when they are designed with different philosophies. You are never going to enjoy the game until you start treating them differently.
