Prestigitation. Everyone likes the ability to start campfires at need, clean yourself off after a sweaty, bloody battle, or silly sounds to make fun of the bard with.
This. After your rage clears you can watch as all the blood and gore flakes off and drops to the ground around you.
You can slaughter a creature or group of creatures, remove the bodies, and then clean up any trace of what happened :)
Focused Aim means the rogue cannot move. That's not always preferable. Especially if their attacks would normally be made with disadvantage, which prevents Sneak Attack from applying.
D&D is a game build on exceptions. Never say never.
This is the rare case in which "Never" is actually correct.
True Strike is literally "never" a good option....especially since its rare use is so niche that the opportunity cost of not picking another cantrip FAR outweighs any benefit that you gain from it.
Also Aim was mostly invalidating the Rouge argument I have heard for True Strike where its "good for a rogue that needs to make sure they hit with sneak attack"
Now that you have another option (that is free) that offers it it further invalidates True Strike as an option. There are already enough reasons to never ever take it...but that just dog piles on to the list and crushes it.
Overall they need to fix it at this point and no amount of validation on its current form will ever make it a good choice.
“They” don’t need to fix anything. It’s a niche spell. Without a thrown weapon available, there are niche and yes, very rare opportunities to use it. I never said it was a necessary primary attack, but there are possibilities.
Classes without Extra attack can get first round uses out of it.
True Strike: For those times you used ALL your movement, can’t reach any enemies, have no ranged options (thrown or otherwise), have nothing else useful you can do, and aren’t smart enough to take the dodge action.

True Strike is so niche that it's effectively useless. So yes, it does need to be fixed because as is, it's a waste of page space.
Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
