Why is CDPR lately so hesistant on neutral buffs?

Hello Community.

To me flexible neutral cards are the epitome of creativity and some of the most iconic cards are neutrals and they didn't see any play for ages. So i am a bit disappointed by the upcoming patch and the last few patches in that regard.

I get that they want to push archetypes and kind of force deckbuilding in a specific direction but there would be so much more possibilities for at least kind of competitive decks and creative deckbuilding with some meaningful and follow up buffs in this direction.

I browsed through the last 5 patches and the impact neutral changes had are kind of disappointing to me. There are some that go in the right direction but i think it's lackluster.

9.5 had only the Mushy Truffle change. It was kind of needed but why only this one?

9.4 Pellar Change made it a 1 of in some decks.

9.3 Love the Radeyah and Shupe change, but with 20 changes only Trial of the Grasses and Caldwell mattered. Why not follow up on Dragons Dream, Colossal Ifrit or Vivienne: Oriole? They apparently tried to make something happen but bad cards need at least 2 point changes or nothing will happen.

9.2 Lacerate and Royal Decree are good efforts. Sunset was needed. Otherwhise negliable.

9.1 You see Swallow in Alchemy. That's it i guess?

9.0 Nothing to see here.

So 6 Months and the only patch that didn't disappoint in case of neutrals was 9.3 and it still changed almost nothing.
I would like some iconic or cool Neutrals to be buffed. Blue Dream, Gerald:Aard, Wolfsbane, Decoy, Regis to name a few. Dragons could use a follow up. Bandits where introduced and never mattered.

What do you guys think?
