The devs didn’t mean to make the game how It it today

The devs said it themselves when infinites were the thing: Nurse was meant to make survivors less-reliant on the loops. They had accepted they had to get rid of infinites and wanted to wean survivors off of them and diversify their playstyles. Survivors wouldn't though and found pallet-loops as an alternative, after they had complained about killers out-playing them in the pallet stand-offs and wanted the pallets to be made fool-proof.
