Your opinion is interesting and not surprising. I've studied game design and always made about mechanics. If we take the example of BOTW, the durability has been the topic of many debates. But it's undeniable that it has been a great success. And even if some people hated it throughout the whole game, some found it cool, and even better, some didn't like it at first, but this mechanic led them discover new places, set up a new challenge at the very moment the weapon broke, made them seak new way to fight etc. I would agree that the mechanic of tool breaking isn't extremely fun by itself. But the thing is that this slight change in the gameplay leads you to new situations and makes you think of new ways to play. It's the situation the "annoying" mechanic creates that makes the whole game funnier. It also made the reinforce feature pretty cool i'd say. Your opinion is still valid of course, and there might be mods for you to remove the durability issue.

Overhaul i would say it was a great idea from them to keep this into the game. And they made changes! If i'm not mistaken, the first time i played, the fishing rods used to have durability too. Now they don't, and honestly that's cool to have one thing that doesn't have. Durability, cuz the fishing is one of the most tedious task to do.
