It's by far the most overused hazard because of how broken it is. The fact that it can deal 25-50% damage just from a mon entering the battlefield and not weaken or go away unless a specific handful of moves are used to remove it is just plain broken. Especially when SR only needs to be used once to have unending beneficial effects, but the moves used to remove it are so few and all have far less useful and shorter lived benefits.
Hell, they even added items and buffed the moves to deal with SR because of how broken and prevalent it is and they still aren't as strong as SR.
Literally all they need to do is lower the damage or the times it hits, but they just continue to put a band-aid on the problem instead of fixing it.
