At its core, CS is a competitive shooter. Having casual maps and modes is fun but the game should not cater to this play mode. If valve tries to make it casual friendly they will disappoint the competitive players and will not be able to compete with other casual shooters.

Basically I don't want then to cater too much to the casual scene

This isn't what's happening, though? What are you on about?

Valve caters more to the casual scene than most companies do by allowing custom servers and an in game custom server browser.

How much more casual can it get?

Being on a console, on the couch.

CSGO was made entirely for the purpose of being a console game, no body played it on console so they abandoned it

You are perfectly capable of setting on the couch at any time. The computer does not stop this. You are actively making the decision to not sit on a couch, as an adult you're allowed to do this.
