Why would you even want to promote your pawn into a knight, bishop, or a rook? It's just a waste of pawns and turns. Let's say that you are spending 8 turns to get a knight, bishop, or a rook. If you want a bishop or a rook, why wouldn't just get a queen? It's true that others might not take your promoted pawn if it's a knight or a bishop, but it's just pointless to spend 8 turns for one of these pieces.

Underpromotion also exists 🙂

5 turns actually
I don't like how you can only promote to a 1-point queen in 4 player chess. For example, you could need to underpromote, but then you immediately get a queen.
