Bob, with all due respect, as long as the pool world values the slopped or wired ball on the break, Nine-Ball will stay broke. As for the next generation rotation game, the players are well on their way to breaking Ten-Ball too.
The ball on the break is just garbage. I can point to decades of strife as proof. I have said it a hundred times on this forum: Shoot what you break. Problem solved. No more stressing over perfect racks. No more broken games.
