Could not agree more. I went from th7 to th10 with five builders working around the clock. The moment I hit th10 I realized that upgrading defenses did not matter. I have maxed my infernos, but apart from that I have stopped raiding (and more or less playing the game) and focused on walls and wars. Maxed troops 2 star me sometimes, and I reckon they will no matter how much I upgrade my defenses as 8m spent on the last x-bow upgrade gives me soooo little that I honestly don't care.
Worst part is that with the clan perks I can't even help my clan with exclusive troops as the th9s with perks can donate almost the same as me.
You may say th9 is balanced, but I challenge you: let golem lvl4 be th10 exclusive and the difference shows.
