It's not so much that it's more complex or interesting. I've never had great problems getting leaders for demons.

It just seems unthematic for the simplest solution to be summon up some cheap undead leaders. Now if that becomes really hard in Dom3, it may add some interest. But since you only need 1D and a couple of gems, it seems likely that indy mages will supply that even with the new randoms.

Of course, it also pushes towards the uber blood summons instead of armies of lesser demons.
All the indy mages got redone too. Getting a death indy mage is not so easy, you need to be very lucky for that. Iirc the only poptype death mage that you can find is the death amazon tribe and from magic sites there are not that many neither i think. Maybe 2-3 rare ones.
So if you have no death getting access to death magic is not so easy anymore.

And those cheap death summons are imho suboptimal to lead devil armies etc. since they are a liability then and can easily die in a battle.
Also to use them effectively you need e.g. air boots.

Most Dom3 blood nations do not easily get air or death, so it might be quite interesting in Dom3.

For Dom2 with the Dom2 random system you are correct though there you just got any path eventually with the randoms .
