In a MP setting (which in full disclosure is the only way I play OOTP), if these traits mean anything (and apparently they do), you can be sure that you will be competing against other owners that are obsessing over them. You don't want to have to parse frilly language - you want the hard numbers, and you want those to be easily accessible.

For online leagues, I would go even futher - not only do you want these numbers to be easily accessible in-game on the player page, you want them to be easily accessible on the HTML player pages. Take an online draft, for instance. Some people will be picking either at work, on their phone, or some other place where they may not be able to open up OOTP to evaluate draftees. But they can get to the html.
Well explained. I just thought it didn't need to be explained for people to understand the implication of the new change. It's not about hate, it's about liking what we have and not losing it to an inferior system.
