They arbitrarily decide a specific playstyle is the only one that's valid and destroy anything that threatens it.
If you don't like Baton Pass, just run taunt rather than banning Baton Pass strats. God forbid you get humbled by a x6 omniboosted Magikarp every so often. At that point it's your own damn fault for letting them set up so much shit.
Commit to the fucking bit and play like a Gambler NPC if you really love the RNGfest that is Pokemon so much.
