So why even have the remaining options in AW Defense?

If you don't know or weren't aware of, Stubborn is the new meta of AW defense tactics and you will very rarely see Flow used now. And if its hard for you to remember the names of the other 2 (or is it 3?) Defense tactics, then don't worry, you are not alone.
Bulwark and Protect tactics are something you will virtually NEVER see! This begs the question, why even offer these choices or better yet, why not revamp then again?
The whole point of these tactics was to make AW more vibrant and less stale in a way that most players who ran a set path knew exactly who they will face there. This has also ruled out lots of champions (such as quake or ghost - note, you can still use them but it beats the purpose of '0 block damage') that some people might have ranked up specifically for war pre defense tactics update.
I would like to see Kabam working on AW Defense tactics in a way that they aren't repetitive and alliances actually think hard about which tactic to set instead of blindly going for Stubborn every war. One solution could be that every season, Kabam randomly assigns a whole week of these tactics and players play by those rules just so the wars are more mixed and new instead of similar throughout the season. They can send a message to leaders saying Week 1 - Stubborn, Week 2 - Flow, Week 3 - Bulwark etc. which would all be random for a whole week but still give a heads up to officers while setting up defense and offense.
Alternatively, they can do another rework for AW but I feel they will miss the mark again, much like they missed the first 2 times. It sucks but having spent all that time working on AW def tactics and everyone ends up using just Stubborn (or flow rarely).
What do you guys think? Are you 100% satisfied with war? Or do you think there needs to be another overhaul?
