How do you feel about turn-based combat? Should more modern games adopt it, or is it best left as a thing of the past?

I enjoy both turn-based and action combat. I like how turn-based combat allows for some strategies without being overly complex like in most TRPG.
I was a big fan of Final Fantasy 7 OG, but I can't get into FF7 remake mainly because of the hybrid combat. I would rather have it turn-based like in the original.
Turn-based games I like:
Final Fantasy 5,6,7,9,10. Dragon Quest series, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG
Action-based RPG I like:
Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Skyrim
It all depends on the tactical depth IMO. If it's just "classic RPG hit hit hit heal hit hit hit", then go for live or at least something in between like Grandia II.
This. Turn-based is justified if and only if it's complex enough to be unreasonable to do in real-time and the design wants to reward the player for taking time to think.
Or turnbased should be tactical, not just complicated.
