Pods are a prime example of a gimmick army. The problem with gimmick armies is that against seasoned tournament players or the rock to the gimmick army's scissors the gimmick can often be quite easily countered, but against non-optimal lists the gimmick army can be grossly unfun to play against.

Your average person with an average "balanced" army that goes up against a good drop pod army not only has no chance to win, but the game will be a ridiculous slaughter.

So seasoned tournament players may laugh at the idea of a drop pod army being too much but your average player definitely thinks a Drop Pod army is OTT.
