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
I like the idea of action/skill based combat but I'm never good enough to have that much fun with it. Singleplayer FPS and games like Torchlight is about it for me. As I get older and time more limited I can't just "get good".
Turn based games let me play at my own pace and I enjoy the strategy/puzzle aspect of it. I played a lot of XCOM Enemy Unknown, and I've had a great time playing Tactical Breach Wizards nowadays, if that counts as turn based. I dunno, I played a lot of Pokemon as a kid so I don't find the concept that weird.
