What you're basically saying, is agreeing with me, but people should be happy because the new buildings are better (massive assumption) and you shouldn't have the choice of where and what to build in your provinces. I totally disagree with you. That removes strategic decisions, and even worse, you might be unable to build a fort in a border province if it's poor (or as rough climate/conditions).
They're removing a feature i PAID, for another that i have to PAY again.
The new building system is removing two of the most important buildings in the game, temples and armories. Why are those buildings so important? Because they give flat boosts to manpower and tax. Choosing whether or not to get any of those buildings early on in the game is one of the biggest strategic decisions you can make. With the upcoming patch, those buildings are being replaced by improving development, which will not be available to non-paying players if they keep things as they are. We are losing features that we payed for in the original release by no longer being able to give a one time flat boost to the tax or several one time boosts to the manpower of our provinces unless we pay.
These features could go a long way to alleviating some of the game's present tedium. Has anyone else noticed how systematic the EU4 DLC have been in reforming all the EU3 features which were inherited by EU4? It's almost as though there's a game-plan at Paradox to rejuvenate the game from the inside out, one mechanic at a time.
Building a Temple is not the same as increasing base tax.
