No one wants to play with people like this...

No one wants to play with someone who tries to make them deck out… no one wants to play with an energy denier… no one wants to play with someone who always get's the Charizard out on the first turn they are able to attack when that Charizard automatically get's full energy from the deck… etc etc etc…
"Well why did they make those cards??"
Because those cards are NOT suppose to be used the way you use them!!
A little bit of energy denial can come in clutch… but when you build your entire deck around it, to the point where nobody could ever get enough energy to attack at all, it's cheap.

And it IS cheating. Just because the Pokemon Company didn't think the cards all the way thro… and how these cards could possibly be used in conjunction with other cards in such an exploitive way… doesn't give you the right to exploit it!!
They made such cards because they assumed you could be trusted… but guess what?? You CANNOT be trusted… AT ALL!!
You ALWAYS look for any possible way to exploit the cards in unintended ways just so that you can get some cheap wins… well, nobody wants to play with you nd were all gonna just concede as soon as we see you playing that way!!
Have fun… you can have all the wins you want but NOBODY wants to play with YOU!!

The card designers know exactly what they're doing. Charizard has won multiple tournaments, and TPCi recently made a League Battle deck for the archetype. If it had been made accidentally too powerful, they would've banned/nerfed it. The card's been out for a year and a half and it hasn't happened.

Stall/control archetypes are also intentional - and they're not going anywhere. Snorlax stall and Pidgeot control have been popular and successful decks for months. And multiple decks using Milotic ex made top cut in the Japanese Champions League last weekend, so they'll be with us after rotation as well.

These cards are "meta warping", meaning you have to build your deck around their strategies, or accept the bad matchups to them. Yeah, control decks can be pretty un-fun to play against, but it's part of the larger strategy of the game. It's not cheating.

The bugs on PTCGL? That's a different story.
