say you have a level 5 party vs a group of, say, 8 troll

horde = 20+

yes, obviously against small and medium sized groups of powerful monsters, disables are better

my point above was that direct damage against a huge group of kobolds, goblins, orcs, etc is preferable

these monsters continue to be relevant into high levels, just in ever greater numbers.

if your DM only ever runs battles with action economy mostly equivalent to the party, yeah AoE is not needed, but when you're way, way down on actions compared to the enemy

for your troll gang example also keep in mind that despite the best damage of its level and the best shaping of its level, fire damage also stops troll regeneration.
