They absolutely can remove the attachment and they should, but they won't.
EA/DICE don't have the moral fortitude to do the right thing. Too worried about upsetting the very vocal killstreak monsters out there. Too worried about narrowing the over-broad appeal of the game even an iota.
The range finder is the perfect troll-lol for what this game wants to be. For what they want the franchise to be.
They don't want a tactical, team-based, co-operative, objectives game 'grounded in realism'. They want 32v32 ADHD battlefield-themed Fortnite. The "return to form" rubbish was just retro-trend marketing.
The rangefinder should just display the distance. The rest should be up to the player.
Having it instantly and automatically set the sights is just lazy ridiculousness.
Yet another brain-dead bit of design alongside the many many others from DICE.
