But it's not tradeoff! You can make default view useful without trading versatility.

Another annoying part is not supporting json or even CSV. Some tools got modernized with it (like iproute2 tool set), but for these you might as well do /proc scraping yourself...

That's true in general. But default view is still subjective. The challenge probably lies in recognizing the larges subset of your user base that would like it to be a certain consistent way.

ss is from the same batch of modernization as iproute2.
