For me, with high accuracy I can say that I will win a fight if the enemy has slightly lower ego and for classes it basically is a win if my ego-10-15k for my weakness and my ego+10-15k for my strength
classes we already expect their effects and can predict with a good accuracy before fight who'd win as you pointed out. Whereas crit makes fights very hard to predict.
Losing a fight in a expected manner due to class has less emotional impact than losing a fight unexpectedly to weaker opponent who crit 3x in a row, therefore greater outcry against the mechanic in the forums, it seems.
