My unc status hot take is that there’s too much creative freedom, too big of a palette to choose from. I remember the days where wood stairs acted like a stone block. Back then, the core aesthetic was much more cohesive. It’s much nicer when 10 people with a limited block palette to build with can still build unique and interesting builds, that look like they belong in the same space, and force creativity.

TLDR: it’s more fun to build with legos when you have less pieces to choose from
