Nope, people hate the fact that plot decice like that exist.
Question is what you need to became PK? Believe in your dream? Many people has dreams, especially pirates, like Moria, but he lose to Kaido and all his crew died. Was he weak? Nope, he was strong. Then why he lose? Case he didn't have that plot device Tama. But not only her, also he didn't have pirate ninja minks alliance. How much effort Luffy putted into creating alliance? Nothing. He just acted stupid and reckless. While plot devices found him by themselves. Kaido vs Kid lose, Moria....but not Luffy, case his plot devices.
I have nothing against plot devices in small arcs, but here we have Yonko villain Kaido, and I think he is specific villain, and Oda should deal with him with bigger decision, than just introduction of another plot device for one arc.
