Why removing group-buff-sets instead of bringing new?

Hello guys,
I like the fact atm that raiding is also based on thinking about what is helpful for the group together to do more DPS and buffing eachother. In that case I thought it was always helpful to have sets like Nightmother's Gaze and Sunderflame. So Stamina-Characters could buff eachother with these set (because all in that raid needs less penetration then).
Unfortunately Magicka Characters don't have these Sets to buff eachother. So I always thought that ZOS would maybe bring in new sets for Magicka as well.
Instead - as most of you read - ZOS decided to change the penetration-buffs on NMG and SF into "Major Fracture". That means they are not worth to wear anymore in a raid, because you already have Major Fracture as a Debuff from the Tank on the boss/adds.
That also means that Stamina can't buff eachother that high - like at the moment - in a raid, so they definetely lose DPS, because they have to compensate the loss of NMG and SF. Overall it's a Stamina Nerf in raids.
I can understand the point of ZOS that everyone should not be "forced" to wear something, just to buff the group. But on the other hand it requires more thinking and was even better for beginner-raidgroups, because they could compensate their lower DPS with these buff sets.
What do you think about?

✭✭✭✭✭I thought they were putting them on a different major and minor system? I do agree we need more useable sets for teamwork.0 -

✭The devs had enough of all that stam toons with heavy attack rotas performing so good. Thats why they first lessened their damage and sustain by taking away 75% of offbalance and now they cat their penetration. Meanwhile staves‘ light and heavy attacks scale better and therefore magicka dd‘s will shine again. They just wanted to put magicka again on top of everything else, especially dks with their new sustain tool.
