Stamina drain doesn't have any particular impact on anything but low-level melee players because nearly everyone has over 100 stamina (the stat) anyway. In case you forgot, having over 100 stamina reduced the negative effect on a player's melee from draining the yellow bar to merely being unable to jump. The main difference caused by not having this feature is probably the impact it has on swimming for long periods of time. Zones like Kedge or Siren's are therefore made marginally easier, although given the unpopularity of such zones it's still not a big deal. I can see why a fix--difficult and low-impact--has remained a low priority through the years.
