Why do they still have hardbat & sandpaper events ?

Post by Game of Thrones »

It has been over 70 years since sponge was introduced in table tennis.
It is not at all clear to me what hardbat & sandpaper freaks plan to achieve by running hardbat & sandpaper events ?
Do they want to turn the clock back & make tabletennis look like pickleball ?
Even if thet did, do you think it will make tabletennis wildly popular like pickleball ? REALLY ?
