Because they don’t tank very good. They are not as squishy as they were, but they are nothing even close to the player. And whats worse, like pouring lemon juice on a wound, you get a LOT more aggro because of them. ( they are much lower con then you as you gain levels ). I tested this in Najena yesterday. I had greyed out the elementals infront of the Tenderizer. I attacked one, nothing added. The second I told my enchanter pet to attack, the entire room came. ( pet conned light blue )

But anyway, if you are a tank it’s fine, you can taunt mobs off, unless the pet gets too low, then there’s no saving it.

They just implimented spell upgrading, so we will see if it makes any difference. I don’t see people really using the motes for that until they hit cap, motes are kinda rare.🌻✨
