All those restrictions were part of classic EQ 1999. It's part of what made the game tedious and difficult.

CCing mobs is a lot more difficult without a Cycle NPC hotkey.

Quickly viewing around a wall to pacify a room and break it is made a lot more tedious when you have to cycle through F9 views and pan around to get targets.

Keeping track of who enters the zone on a PvP server is a lot more tedious if you can't devote an entire chat box to /who

The game has a different dynamic when all of those things are implemented. A lot of people who were previously extremely efficient and fast at playing their class, would be encumbered by some of the changes and be unable to perform them with the same level of accuracy and speed they can currently. Which leads to a more classic environment overall.
