They're probably trying to discourage kids from using them against their friends in casual play where it would hurt enjoyment and thus possibly sales.

However non-kids would be fine playing them in tourney play where someone using "cheap" tactics isn't going to make their opponents rage-quit the entire game.

That's why Kazane hates them while Zanya says he'd be willing to use them. They represent different types of players. Anyway plenty of people are liking Balmung because they're sick of dragon oversupport. And they're the kind of people who aren't going to not use it because the anime characters don't like it.
