Why is it impossible to make something (anything) fun in this game anymore???

I have been playing this game since launch. I am definitely not a new player or just here to complain out of the blue. However, it seems that "fun" is no longer a goal when it comes to the current content that is created. With all of the money that this game has made (billions and billions) the Star Wars fun factor just isn't there anymore. Don't get me wrong, I understand that this game has to be profitable but, can it at least be fun again without overly complicated mechanics and gimmicks? Like, we seriously can't play as Lord Vader in a LORD VADER Jedi temple raid??? Almost every Star Wars fan would love to see this played out in an extended form in any media, but instead we get Tarkin and Pirates? Please, help me honestly and sincerely understand how the new content being created is check marked, and given the green light. Are statistics run when developing content? Are there limitations set by Disney? Did the player base really ask for a pirate GL and Tarkin? Is there going to be a Death Star raid being made where we will have to use Tuskens? I'm not going to recycle the beta testing discussions that have been going on for years. I'm not even touching that because it's a dead end, but please help me understand how this is considered fun?

This raid is not the worst I've seen - after years I still fail to understand how the speeder bike one works lol. Sure, it could have been a lot better, more lore accurate, different paths as someone else suggested, and so on. But that's not the problem, these are the problems:
No UI updates
No old events revamps
Old characters get a lifting only once in a while
There are far too many different currencies, some of which haven't seen any new use in the shipments in years.
No new Cantina, LS, DS or Fleet battles since forever
Bronzium Datacards still need to be purchased one by one
Territory Wars and Battles won't disdain some improvements
We had to wait years for certain events to become simmable
And I'm sure I'm missing many others

There are so many aspects of this game that feel abandoned. Yet, they continue to release tens of new characters each year and with every new event they continue to raise the bar of the paywall. Even the Galactic Challenges were updated only in the reward system and only because they came up with a new way to grab our money.
I wonder what plans they have for the game in the long run, aside from continuing to extort money.

When you log in and find there's hundreds of battles that'll take most of your spare time to do, with 300 characters, mods, datacrons and try and figure out what to use to win each battle when the combinations are approximately 10^70 (more than grains of sand on a beach, stars in the visible universe), it is soul destroying. Also the low end combinations beating your "end game content" GL's which took months (nearly a year) each... And you find it fun?
