Popular games tend to have a pushback when there's a mechanic that exists to provide resistance against the player.

For Dead Rising that was the timer. In the long run it was a mistake listening to those people. Chances are they were just a vocal minority.

It's up to the game designers to decide who to listen to. Honestly I'm glad to see some games are still confident enough to stand by their mechanics. I'm tired of every game following the same loot and XP system because it's the one players complain about the least. I'll take games like BOTW/TOTK doing their own thing over yet another game doing the same thing because it's popular.

There's literally open world games releasing every single year that don't have durability mechanics. If you'd rather play them then go ahead. Considering the reception TOTK has I think they did the right thing not listening to the vocal minority.
