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 don’t like turn based. ME3 or Andromeda gameplay was peak for me. ME3coop was sooo good.
BG3 was as perfect as turn based could be, and I’d still much prefer action.
But I don’t think it should be too hybrid either. Warmup based powers and such are fine, simultaneous turns can be fine, but WoW/SWTOR style button mashing (a middle-of-the-road hybrid) is the absolute worst.
