If you actually read the character changes, the only characters getting DIRECTLY nerfed are Wat, the GL Exceptions and maybe in a small sense Vader.

Most of the changes are significantly more than made up for, and the ONLY notable GL counters being affected are Thrawn (completely destroyed) and in the couple matchups that actually cared, GAS losing cooldown increases. Seriously, almost none of these changes were actually used for GL counters, and most of them aren't being directly hit.

JKL was used to blind and deal damage - That's not being changed.
GAS was used to manipulate SLKR's AI, that's not being changed.
Imp troopers are completely unaffected, and due to weird wording, I have no clue how SEE's change even works. (does it only affect undispellable buffs that are present at battle start, like GAS taunt and stuff? Because I swear that's how it reads.)

Vader v Rey is the only real GL counter that's been very notably hit. And that's because of Thrawn and Wat.
In fact, Rey's just massively been buffed by almost all of these changes, and I have no clue why, when all the other GLs are being barely touched.

At first, it looks like a very significant change, but...
if you actually read all the changes, and look at what's ACTUALLY changing, and how these characters are used in their current teams....

Thrawn and Wat are the only ones really being significantly hit by this.
And 501st GAS is randomly getting massively buffed for unknown reasons.

This really isn't as bad as it looks at first glance, tbqh.
