Why kill single target siege cascade

I understand bad interaction between siege cascade and vine arrow and it had to be fixed
But why kill glacial bolt and siege cascade interaction. It worked as per "VISION"
1. Weapon swap to use another skill (better feel then reload same crossbow)
2. Need to reload bolts and detonate ice wall - takes some time.
3. Not broken and need a lot of investment into smooth playstyle (projectile speed, weapon swap time, aoe).
4. To kill bosses you need to repeat this multiple times.

Sad what we left basically with one or two usable crossbow skills to play.

It's strange, they want us to combo our abilities and not be one button builds, but I can't even combo abilities that I get with the same weapon type? Siege Cascade and Glacial Bolt?
There are so many skills I have no idea what you're supposed to even start to do with. All take SO much effort for SO little payoff. "Combo game" was fake news, it's actually a trap game where you are funneled into the OP skills of the month, just like poe1. I don't see the point in putting all this effort in with the combos when the end result is exactly the same as the first game.
I completely agree, removing combo play with the same weapon group, that does decent damage but not crazy compared to many meta skills. Particularly for single target the crossbow leaves very few options. During interviews, they often mentioned that combo play should be more effective compared to one button alternatives, guess that was a lie. I do hope they reconsider their stance on glacial bolt, I understand the vine arrow situation had to be nerfed.
