The point people are trying to make is, TH is harmful. So if it's harmful, show me how removing TH removes the harm. What changes in the game? This thread has some 650 posts. Surely there is a list of reasons how it harms. How the game would be altered by removing TH.

The exact context is games-of-chance in some games do not tell their players what are inside the black boxes. They can be harmful. However, such "harm" doesn't apply to TH as they have shown not only what the players can get from the TH Chests, they also show the odds voluntarily too.

TIGA's stance aligns with the committee's assessment that research into gaming disorder "is scarce," and that more studies are required to adequately understand the problem.

"TIGA agrees that the Government should urgently carry out research to examine the connection between loot boxes and gambling," said Dr Wilson.
"This research would recognise that loot boxes take many different forms."

See? The video game industry actually welcomes the initiative for more research to remove the blur line between loot boxes and gambling.
There are many different forms of loot boxes
. Some dishonest companies do not tell what their consumers can get from their games-of-chances. Hence, they are selling deceiving black boxes but not loot boxes. However, most other companies have shown details of the loot. Jagex is one of them. :)
