I don't think anyone is really saying that time should have never been added to the pause clock. In extras extra time definitely should be added. I think most people are upset that it doesn't add time ONLY when extra innings occur. 5 minutes for 9 innings is enough and already gives sore losers 3-4 minutes to waste at the end of games as it is. I don't see much benefit to just adding one minute, but maybe programming in "inning=10, add one minute" isn't as easy as we think so this was the only alternative.
