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
Rogue?
Card games and board games. Slay the Spire, Inscryption, Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, poker, chess. Golf. Tabletop RPG's like D&D.
It can get kind of hard to define "single thing" though. In Chess you have a ton of different pieces but can only move one per turn, while in D&D one character might get an action surge or have a familiar that gets actions. In Slay the Spire you have just one character but a handful of different cards each turn.
I would also consider a lot of adventure games and visual novels to be mostly turn-based. Like the original version of Myst, the Ace Attorney series, Sucker for Love.
Transistor is a kind of hybrid between real-time and turn-based, and you only control Red in that.
I don't find those to be fun, but that is a personal opinion.
Went back and clarified the wording.
