2015 was an exception to the rule in a lot of ways. But this has almost never been true! In nearly every FRC game, very competitive robots skipped "mandatory" parts of the game and still found success. The team that spends 0 hours on an objective they can't accomplish is going to be a lot more competitive than the team that spends 500 on the objective they can barely do, because they put more time and resources into being better at other tasks. If you design robots automatically trying to do everything, each year, unless you're among the best in FRC you're going to end up at best a jack-of-all-trades, master of none.
