What do you mean by "allowed"?

From what I understand, their contract with Nintendo (or whoever) explicitly dissolve disallowed it.

That’s an odd assertion, given PvP battles are now live.

Do you have anything to back it up?

My understanding was that they just have a small team and aren’t very good (ie. brave enough) at making changes beyond ‘text fixes’

He's saying traditional as in a turn based strategy game like the core series (like Red and Blue). Many of the long time fans were turned away by lack of strategy.

Not only was the button mashing (and lag) extremely offputting, the worst feeling in the world was beating a level 6 gym by yourself and then someone puts their pokemon in before yours.

I rage uninstalled pokemon go after that and my data bill has been rational ever since :)
