Are turned based games really outdated?

some games like metal max require you to equip a particular type of weapon to hit the weak point or armor to deflect the damage to beat the boss. Do games like those fall into this category?

>grinding makes challenge disappear
Thats more of a player problem than a game problem. I dont think its bad to have an option to mindlessly grind away then one shot a boss but its usually extremely time consuming and boring to grind.
There are definitely good turn based games where you can beat the game without doing any grinding.
