F1 has been about contrived entertainment for a long time now.

Reverse grids can still see reward for those who perform the best.

Every prize given on a Sunday is about who performed the best under the contrived situation that is the regulations of the time.
At the moment, a lot of the contrived situations are focused on the tyres. Whether that is having to use two different tyre compounds, start the race on Q2 tyres (but only part of the grid), have tyres that are not resilient....

The driver that qualifies 10th has no choice of starting tyre, but the driver 11th does. Is that rewarding the better performance? Or is it contrived entertainment?

DRS - reward the driver who has earned track position, or produce overtaking for contrived entertainment?

Everyone looks for something different in F1, and nearly everyone would prefer F1 to be different in some way to how it currently is. Just because someone else's view on what F1 should be or is differs from yours, doesn't make that wrong.
