Do you remember when Apex used to be fun?

Just my opinions here.
They want it to be a mostly Casual game with some competitive niche.
In casual games balance matters but it is not a priority, as they mostly want people to feel op when they have the newest and or right gear-set (depending on the game). Sales matter more than netcode in casual games, like skins and charms etc.
Netcode is good enough for a casual experience. 20 tick servers would also accommodate for, eventually, introducing AIs, as 50ms would allow AI to compute their logic very effectively.
I can see how taking the game "more seriously" would turn it into a frustration event. It does so to me, then I try to remind myself that it is only a casual game, and by that thought I return to a more healthy perspective about why matchmaking does what it does, why servers are not gonna be updated because of costs vs advantages, why it takes months before weapons are re-balanced etc.
It makes sense to me that sales of cosmetic come first as the base game is free, so in order to keep it alive something's got to give so to speak.
Again, just my thoughts.
