I'm currently going to buy Sword and Shield to support GameFreak with their choice. If you care for your older Pokémon go play with them in the Pokémon Home app and please don't bring them to your game. If GF somehow go back because of pressure and bring the National Dex on the Switch games, I'm probably dropping the franchise. I really miss Gen 3 - 4 competitive metagame. This is not an ironic post.

If you feel the need to say you're not being ironic, that's usually a sign that what you're saying is either ironic or dumb.

Option B

Gamefreak doesn't give a shit about balance, if the dex cut was for balance purposes they would have kept all pokemon models/data but just limited (banned from online play, no legal way to obtain pokemon, etc). The decision of not including them was made out of sheer laziness.

Also, if gamefreak does a balance decision, it's based on their playing system that is doubles, and here and most forums no one gives a shit about the random festa that is doubles.

On top of that, on smogon formats, a pokemon being in a low tier doesn't mean it's shit. But it's underused (not refering to UU) because there are better options, some of the less used pokemon can be strong but need certain settings. And the fact that smogon has tiers means that even the untiered ones can have their spots.

More Pokemon=More options=better metagame.

The metagame will form and will stay that way as long as the game exists. Cutting Pokemon will only create that one metagame.
The proper way to make more Pokemon usable is to have a larger variety available and make rulesets restricting Pokemon based on a commonality.
You could keep the entire roster, make a Galar ruleset, then make other rulesets for more diverse metagames such as Little Cup, rules restricted to 4-5 related types, or a BST restriction.

You do realize you’re enabling them to continue this trend of mediocre games by buying it day one right? Just wait and buy it used
