Why are there so many new required experiments?

Hey folks, I’m just now getting back into the game and I’ve noticed that we’re locking a bunch of tech Webs behind required experiments again.

I don’t really think that’s a good move. Doesn’t really add much to the experience in my opinion and comes across as like busy work.
