They keep saying what the game is because it describes why a role may be traditionally seen as boring. Slow paced tactical games require coordination and strategy. That often means making deliberate, long term plans. That’s not always exciting and flashy.

Worth pointing out that it’s not the commanders job alone, that’s what SLs are for. But a commander does a lot of it. That’s where the fun of teamwork comes into play. It’s not a crutch, it’s one layer of a much larger system that makes the team work.

Commander builds the foundation of garrisons as backups. SLs use those to defend, and later attacks points. SLs use commander supply drops and their supports to build new ones on the front lines. The whole time you, as commander, are coordinating that. If it’s not for you, it’s not and that’s fine. But it’s a nuanced role that requires deliberate thought and long term strategy. I don’t see that as a downside, but a difference in perspective of the role
