Because the Yankees haven't manipulated their ballpark to their benefit? Or the Royals didn't build around speed/defense in the 80s cause of the turf? Ballpark manipulation is 100% normal. Ballparks in the MLB aren't all standard. Teams build their rosters based on their ballpark.
If you're going to have issues, take issues with the pseudo opener stuff since it effectively tricks the AI into placing a lineup that isn't suited to the park, since it's not treated as a true opener/follower.
But to the OP's point, strategy at the highest level is what will set people apart. Even in tourneys, there are strategies. Full righty SPs with lefty RPs, vice versa. It has it's benefits.
