pawn promotions should be removed

OP is simply OP. He does not hold the power if we do not let him.

1. It Can Feel Like "Lazy" Game Design
Critics argue that the endgame becomes too focused on a "pawn race." Instead of using complex maneuvers with existing pieces, the goal shifts entirely to running a pawn across the board. This can make the final stage of the game feel repetitive or like a completely different game from the middle stage. 
 
2. The "Overpowered" Queen
Because players almost always promote to a queen, the sudden appearance of the most powerful piece can instantly erase a skill advantage. Someone who played a "perfect" game for 40 moves can lose in an instant just because they missed a single pawn's path, which some find frustrating rather than strategic. 
 
3. It Discourages "Real" Checkmates 
In lower-level play, players often stop trying to find clever checkmates and instead just try to get two or three queens. This "brute force" ending is sometimes seen as "tasteless" or unsporting, especially if a player promotes multiple queens just to taunt an opponent who hasn't resigned yet.
 
4. Historically "Simplified" Strategy
Some historical variants had restricted promotion—for example, you could only promote to a piece that had already been captured. Modern rules allow for multiple queens (up to nine!), which some purists feel is less strategic than having to manage a limited pool of resources.
