The idiocy of the artifact system doesn't seem to have any reasoning to exist outside making raising new characters a miserable chore, which makes no sense at all when you get money by selling new character: why should you make enjoying your product hard?
Other issues come from the gacha. One of them is secondary characters stealing the focus in the plot as stories are used to advertise them.
Results varies depending on how the story is implemented and how much you like the character. Personally, Nahida can steal all the space she wants (so far she is the only Archon who actually does something to improve people life - the only one that comes close is Furina who technically isn't an archon. Would be fun having the two meet), but... I don't really care for Arlecchino getting the focus.
Since Arlecchino is on sale, she has to look "cool" now. For that reason her story quest has a part where she "defeats" you. Now, defeat isn't a good word here...
Gameplay wise, the boss is split in two forms, and both time she mostly kills herself since some of her attack damage her - Zhongly laughs as you get no damage and she defeats herself as you watch basically. Can't wait for one of those "Traveler wins by doing nothing" meme videos
story wise, after she self destruct the second time, you get a cutscene of her using some form of forbidden skill, the traveler is stuck unable to move for a second, she teleports in front of him, says "still to weak" ... and that is.
Since you "beat" Raiden in a fight but you "lose" here, some not-so-wise players claim that "Arlecchino stronger than Raiden" (you know, the kind of players that usually argue if Goku is stronger than Bugs Bunny)
The "annoying" part is that by now the traveler should command 5 elements out of seven. Yet... he never use them in cutscenes since someone else is getting the advertisement at the time.
Mondstadt story arc, you **FLY** in a boss fight and use anemo.
Liyue for the only time in the game, a cutscene shows the traveler using TWO elements at the same time (something you can't do in normal gameplay even).
Inazuma, tries to use Electro against Raiden (instead of, you know... using Geo)

Sumeru, doesn't use any element against God version Scara. Instead, Nahida gives you Patamon from Digimon.
@AndrasDeak--СлаваУкраїні As for the dice, lore wise the card game is made by two researchers from Sumeru whose study field was elements.
So, you may argue that if they added Omni to the game and gave them a symbol that just "happens" to be the one on Paimon... there must be a reason.

I am not someone to really care about fanservice, yet I am pretty annoyed by double-standards.

Just wanting to point out that Stellar Blade was censored on the day-one patch, after the developer promised an "uncensored global release".
