You're spot on in that it divides the community.

I'm also not a fan of them adding these mobs seemingly for no reason. If they really wanted to give players a voice in what goes into the game then they need to let us voice what we actually want instead of taking the easy route by providing the illusion of choice.

The majority of the mob vote mobs have had a single purpose. Armadillos drop wolf armour. Sniffers find a certain seeds. Allays fetch items. Glow squids drop an item to make item frames light up. Pandas do a funny sneeze. And phantoms simply punish players for the crime of playing the game.
Actually, at least phantoms also drop something that lets you repair elytra.

I just wish these mobs felt more integrated into the game. They all seem so surface level. There's just not all that much to them.
