I don't ask or impose that card creators share the same vision as mine. WotC has their own prerogatives for making a change or not making a change. And each of us also have our own ideas of what changes we would make if we could.
As for my own projects and designs, I shall use the most efficient and comfortable ways to convey my ideas. Frankly it is working out well for me. It simplifies and speeds up the process of thinking up ideas and directly putting them on cards. I don't have to waste unnecessary time and effort to reword my ideas into clumsy wording and templating. I can quickly find all the Summon cards in MSE or spoilers. And the abilities sound so much cooler. I now Summon tokens, not just generically, blandly put them onto the battlefield. This might be what they mean by cinematic design.
As for milling, I have before turned it into a keyword action (it wasn't called milling). Mainly due to other keywords and abilities that involves milling. It does improve readability, interaction, and immersion. However that's a story for another day.
