There's a big difference between preferring non-newtype stories (which do have a place in Gundam, just see 08th MS Team and Gundam 0080) and wishing they weren't part of the Gundam mythos at all. I mean, I wish that there were more Star Wars movie like Rogue One (EG less Jedi and more on the normal troops of the Rebellion) but that doesn't mean I don't want there to be JEdi-related SW movies. Same goes for NEwTypes in UC Gundam: I like the stories with more non-special human beings as characters, but I don't mind a UC Gundam with NEwTypes that pulls off the story well.
