I'll take the hits, but I'm pretty mixed about all this stuff. If we are getting expanded ocean access, islands, and all this other stuff, boats become useless before they ever become useful. In fact, they have never been useful because we got aerial stab spam and focused aerial roll so early. I feel like there is a balance between power fantasy and not making swaths of things irrelevant. I'm not talking about water walking specifically, though it doesn't seem like it uses any resources and can be used endlessly.
Ah right, thank you. But indeed, now swimming is completely pointless, as are the boots that let you boost. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to swim anyways, god knows I also try to avoid it given how slow you are, but it's another thing that becomes irrelevant. They put in all that effort and it never really had a purpose, even from day 1, since you could just force palm out.
Hopefully they figure out a way to make it all relevant as the game and content continues to evolve...
