In the past it was ridiculous enough that 2 men can cover all 5 rubbers. Fed stan fed/stan stan fed and that's how the title was won.
It's not even a team event. It's just a pair event.
And now? If you have a top player, Like Sinner, you can have a 1500th ranked 2nd Singles, and still win the title. By Sinner (a nobody) Sinner+ a decent doubles player
At least in Table tennis Team events you need 3 players going onto the court. In Badminton team events, you need 4-8 (in Sudirman Cup), 4-7 (in Thomas and Uber Cup). Team event without enough players going onto the court is more like choosing players just to practice and cheer for their 1 or 2 compatriots So meaningless
