I agree fully with this! It's really striking, reading here and on Reddit, watching people play in halls, how extremely popular the ultra stiff and/or head heavy pro models are, models like Astrox 88d Pro/99 Pro/100 and so on. I can't understand why mere mortals, amateurs, actively choose to use equipment that objectively make them play worse compared to if they used more suitable rackets.

Would like to try the Victor TKFE, but it's becoming a bit hard to find these days. And of course, both the Arcsaber 7 and Astrox 77 are sure nice rackets, but they don't really intrigue me that much since they were released almost 4 years ago and probably will be replaced soon.
