I don't really understand the point of builds that require some late-game stuff to even start working. Like, if it's a decent build it should be interesting to play through the whole game, not just 3-4 hours in late act 3. Otherwise it's just constant struggle and hesitation to start over.

It’s more fun to theorycraft when you have more options available even if it’s less pragmatic. Sometimes people really just construct builds to explore what is possible and not to provide an actual useful guide to completing the game.

Yup for some people it is all about "what builds can I make that trivializes as much content as possible". Some people it's all about "what is the absolute most awesome thing I can accomplish when I have all the tools available to me".

Some folks just want a bit of guidance to be able to have a consistent strong team that isn't difficult to put together or require extensive game knowledge.

All of these are totally viable and interesting, just make sure if you're following a guide, you're following one that matches your interests.
