Nice sideeffect from 3D, RT combat: it is more appealing to the general public and would hence generate more revenue for MM and Shrapnell. That in turn would be a good things for quality strategy gaming.

Well the problem is that SE is not a quality strategy game anymore if Aaron introduces anything like realtime (pauseable or not) with SEV.

It is 100% true that simultaneous turn battles have no input from the user during combat. You have no impact on the outcome other than your standing orders.

Yes this is true but what is with those many people which dont play simulataneously or with other people. As in every other serious TB strategy game there is (in chat or forums passive) also in SE a majority just playing against the computer and not against other humans. Some people in this forum tend to believe their way of playing only strategic combat, simultaneously and against humans is the only way SE is, can or should played. But out there in the the opposite is true.
