To you and me, sure, but somewhere out there, there's some people who like the simpler design of T6, and they are, and should be, allowed to use it. Just like people who like the older character models, they can, and should be, allowed to use them. Just like the owners of the Black Qiraji mount, their mount, which they may have attachment to, was not replaced, but a separate one was added so that it can be used optionally. That is how all of these cosmetic updates (both animations and models) should be done.
This is an RPG, cosmetics should not, under any circumstances, be forcibly changed, because in an RPG people get attached to their characters, they pick them based on certain things, like attack animations, if those things change without player input that character can not feel like that player's character anymore, that is, without question, bad.
