I absolutely hate trading in Path of Exile 2. It's just the most frustrating thing. In fact, I hate everything about the "economics" of the game. If they want to grow this, they better figure something out because this ain't it.

The economics have been a core aspect of PoE1 for 12 years. A large part of the community enjoy this aspect, so it is unlikely to fundamentally change. (Better QoL is always welcome, though)
Well, okay. I'm being a dick here but what is here just isn't an enjoyable experience. Not to mention, PS5 users can't really even do it. They should really consider an in game auction house, which is what this is, but less of a pain in the ass for the player.
You should read their development manifesto on it: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2025870. Now this was 2017 and for PoE1, so it is definitely outdated. But this should give you an idea of where they are coming from. Keep in mind this mindset is why (imo) they've been successful thus far.
Also, when he mentions Exalted orbs, they have the drop rate of Divine orbs in PoE1, and used to be the de facto expensive currency (with chaos orbs being more common, and acting kind of like Exalts do in PoE2) so keep that in mind.
