    I LOVED watching swsh speedruns once the dlc came out - the rng of what Pokémon you’d get in the raid dens and how people would adapt accordingly made each run feel different and more fun to watch - plus having a strong Pokémon made the way things were done so much different from other Pokémon speedruns, such as move choice being optimized for speed in many cases over power, as with thrash as mentioned in this video.

    I am not agains dlc, since they always made a third game after the first 2 that you needed to buy to get the remening stuff. So when you play the version with the dlc is like playing the emerald/platinum version of the base game. Of course it changes how the game is played
