I don't think anyone wants the environment stuff removed. It's really cool. But it's overpowered and overabundant.
At some point it will also get old that archers are climbing to "high ground" in every single encounter. The terrain and height is really cool, and also rewards versatility (finally a reason to have both str and dex as a fighter since you can't ignore ranged weapons) but when you use surface and height in every single encounter it becomes a chore.
