I, for one, like totally random mazes, sometimes. Look at the Barovian mists. If you're practicing on ghouls in the forest of barovia and do a where occasionally, you'll almost always see someone trying to sneak up on you. This is because a person can't just spam directions, they have to look. My largest lack of agreement is your statement that Manor-way to Thalos is a waste of time. It isn't. That maze is essentially 2 mists-of-barovia type mazes, one on the western side and one on the eastern side, with an island of non-maze in the middle. Use look.
Take Shadar Logoth. You'll notice that The Arcane didn't say he kills a lot of groups in SL, he kills a lot of groups in Aridhol. One reason, I suspect, is it is a lot easier to check Aridhol than it is SL. Sure this is in part due to the aggro mobs and such, but it's also the maze factor.
