True. And the reasons are quite simple. RTS is exclusive to PC, and not many people like to play hard-to-master- RTS games. Add some RNG and you have something appealing to a small proportion of gamers.

RTS games are also not very easy to design. You can spew out CoD bad BF games left and right.

Someone mentioned Golden Age of RTS, I'm gonna go one step forward and say Golden Age of PC gaming. Steam saved us, but are far from those days.

The rest of your points are good, but I can't agree with this one. First, the incendiary grenade does not need to be researched. The nade is obtained naturally through faction teching (similar to, say, Grenadier riflenade). There is no feasible scenario in which you don't put down your truck early into the game. It's even more accurate to say that the incendinade unlocks in the early game after a small amount of time. You have to tech, the incendinade is just a bonus.

Second, it's not, strictly speaking, later than the Molo. You can literally put down the first truck the moment the game begins, if you wish so. Yes, early truck without at least 3 squads built is a move that will impair your crucial early game presence and is generally not done. But then again, neither is the Molotov researched before you have at least a few con squads.

I would place Incendinade teching as a pro, not a con.
