Ever think that it's not because Yasuo brings in money, but rather becaue he's got a kit where seemingly small changes could result in him being unplayable, and the proper rework that he needs is something that will need a lot of testing and thought put into it so that they don't just ruin his identity?

Calling balance unfair because you want changes made now and they aren't doing that isn't right. Even if I'm wrong and it actually is just a thing for money, you're assuming bad faith here, when more than likely it's hesitance resulting from them having no clear avenue to keep him functioning but also fun in his current state.

Things are looked at in a vacuum because if you want to theory craft full 5 on 5 team compositions throughout a 40 minute game, then you just debate in circles, there's no clear way fights will go, and it overall just ends up with people pulling "What if's" out of thin air. There are ways you always can deal with Yasuo short of having a team without cc, If they have more melee carry types than just him, then maybe don't overlap cc, shut them down with jungle ganks, have a malphite and amumu. I would list more, but that's just proving the point that getting too detailed with this doesn't result in any real discussion.

The current esports meta has not had Yasuo in it for who knows how long. It's been boring tanks top lane iwth the ocassional fiora for like a year or two. If Riot really wanted flashy plays and wow factor, that would not be the case.

Seriously, I don't know where you heard it from, but the amount of bad faith you're assuming is really making your posts feel whiny whenever you mention Riot, I understand the frustration with Yasuo, but he's not a top tier pick. He's not defining any roles, or breaking the game. He's not Lee sin in season 3-5.
