By slotting your Sprint with end.red. in addition to IO rec. bonuses you have worked around the gimpage that Rocketman subjects himself to in order to get his rocks off.
You jumped into the middle of a debate without understanding both sides.
I don't mind though since I have been guilty of such behavior myself from time to time.
Has this gone live, I can not seem to find it any patch notes and can not find an announcement from the devs about it.
This is a service-oriented business, and it's all
about keeping the player happy over the long term.
So you have to listen and pay attention. If a large
portion of your playerbase is screaming about
some change, you be wise to listen. - Raph Koster

I've been thinking about this lately as I make some new characters and play through the low levels. Thoughts like "hmm, if stamina was inherent I'd probably take a travel power at level 6 for nearly everyone". I like ninja run a lot, but if I don't have to sweat fitting in stamina I can be a lot more profligate with my power choices. And "hmm, if stamina were inherent I'd probably throw some slots in my SR scrapper's toggles at the lower levels".
Its clearly going to change a lot of things about the lower levels, and some of them will come as a surprise.

I highlighted that last sentence of your post because it demonstrates how utterly useless any point you were trying to make with this thread.
You don't want an easy button and you want to add an element of challenge to your gaming experience? Easy answer is to gimp your character by not taking key powers from either the primary or secondary power sets not to mention turning Sprint on and never turning it off to further gimp(or challenge) your gaming experience.
Game might be tougher if you deliberately refused to carry any inspirations.
