What's going on with totem perks?

The developers create totem perks for survivors that give them rewards or help finding a totem which is nice and interact with side objectives, then for some reason they create totem perks for the killers that punish survivors for interacting with a totem.

If the effect only applies to Hex, that's fine, but why punish survivors for interacting with a dull totem? With the recent Hex perk buff, it punishes survivors for interacting with a dull totem, and the result is 48 seconds to cleanse or bless dull totem, that's more than half the generator.

Add dominance perk and things get worse.

Then comes the famous question, why is cleanse totem rate so low? Why are most survivors not using totem perks?

There should be limits to this, Totems are side objectives for survivors and a way to balance Hex perks, not something to slap survivors around and alienate them from.
