Should the altars including kci be game changers?

Every time [[krark clan ironworks]] [[phyrexian altar]] or [[ashnods altar]] come out in a game I know it will lead to some incredibly degenerate nondeterministic combo/storm chicanery. Sacrificing as a mana ability is near impossible to interact with. Do you think these cards belong in bracket 2?

Would they be worth a game changer slot in bracket 3?

Am I way off base in thinking these cards enable absurd play patterns?

Bonus question how do people feel about [[skullclamp]]?

Why do players want to push the speed of B3 instead of playing B4?

It seems like a lot of players want to push the turn limit in bracket 3 by calling their deck an aggro deck. If they want a faster game why don't they play bracket 4? It seems like they are trying to game the guidelines with an archetype definition instead of playing fair magic. There is nothing creative about playing alexios, slicer, or Tifa in B3 you're just interaction checking the pod. Are these players looking for tacit permission to pubstomp or expecting B3 players to mulligan for interaction?
