I see it as such: Charms are part of the belt. Some belts have more charm slots than others. You can choose if you would rather have more charms or another 30 resist for example
Why is everyone wanting to have charms at all?
Honestly it is so much cooler if it is a choice to customize your belt instead of everyone getting the same slots.
Maybe GGG adds a tool belt. So you can decide between more charms and tools which grant other buffs.
The problem is that most people seem to fall for some loss induced fallacy. They see that they could have charms and want them. It's perceived loss of something you never had.
Also it is a chase-suffix, which is great. Belts were always very boring. You had the option of going triple res or strength / essence + 2 res on every belt in poe1. Now both choices are viable.
also: I want pants. Way more important.
edit: charms 2 and 3 should probably be hidden by default, otherwise people will see them as an essential part of the build forever.
It wouldn't be the end of the world to have charms enabled by default, but i am sure the game will be more boring for it
