Skilling seems undesirable

I do wonder if perhaps people also prefer the more exciting experiences you get out of PvM? Nevertheless I do hope skilling is balanced out more in the future, that way we'll certainly find out the answer to that question.

Yes, there are more people who prefer the more exciting experiences they get out of PvM, that's why there are genres of games like MOBA, Battle Royale, ARPG, etc designed specifically for them. When players go to these games, they won't complain about lack of skilling opportunities because they don't expect it.
However, OSRS wants to be everything and recruits and unbans every player in sight. Every project to them is HUGE. GIM is HUGE. Leagues are HUGE, Quest Speedrunning is HUGE. "New skill" is HUGE. Of course it won't work when they tell everybody everything is HUGE but only a small group of PvMers are benefited in reality.

The bad thing is in a zero-sum game, the gain of non-combat players is the loss of combat players.
This assumes a video game player base is zero sum, if your one type of player, you cant be another. I admit that in most MMO's this is mandatory by class design but in RUNESCAPE?
Then why didn't OSRS tell all those non-combat specific players skilling were out of favor? Why they talked about the OSRS economy if they intended PvMers to control it? Why didn't they poll the RECENT drastic improvement to pvm loot? Yes, I am talking about RECENT changes starting with Muspah, then "new" Wildy bosses, then entry mode ToB and so on, and so on, and so on.
Why can the OSRS player base be only one type of players, but not the others? Rest assured, we can be, and have to be, doing all kinds of things including skilling, bossing, minigames, quests and more in RS3 to get
And why was OSRS hard selling ToB with Jmod Playthrough when Mod Ayiza said they would be doing Jmod Playthrough on the OSRS Milestone 10th Anniversary Event instead?
OSRS has become extremely desperate on pushing PvM. It is even bigger than OSRS's once every 10 year Milestone Anniversary Event.

Completionist Cape, let alone Trimmed Comp
. Mod Jack actually explicitly told us the design of RS3 - Warden is not endgame, Maxed is not endgame, but Comp and Trimmed Comp are. Literally, he told us RS3 is designed for different kinds of players.
