Do not keep reduced air exposure for diamonds.

the reduced diamond exposure is a bad thing for minecraft
why add all of these crazy new cave biomes when im just gonna be spending all my time strip mining like how i usually do
i was actually really excited when i saw the giant caves because i thought, "This will make mining in caves way more efficient."
while yeah its cool i can get more diamonds, whats the point of a cave update when i wont be spending most of time exploring those caves.
also making iron spawn more above deepslate just complicates everything, but im mostly okay with that since it does exist somewhat below y 0.

    They want to create a balance between Cabe Exploring and Stripmining, Diamonds were extremely abundant and reducing the vein sizes of it would greatly affect Stripmining as a a strategy so the reducal in air exposure helps to balance things out

    Diamonds being too easy to find devalues them. Ancient debris is NEVER exposed to air unless there's a bug

    Would you rather have them be very common?

    I don't want diamonds "more common".  I want the game to DISCOURAGE boring strip mining, not encourage it.

    Man, I remember during the snapshots (at least for bedrock) it was better to go caving than to go strip mining. Now it's back to strip mining being better. Strip mining was the whole reason I never went mining in the first place, and now it's back to being awful. It was the whole reason I always used Yung's Better Caves in my modpacks. There's no mod to fix this either, making it extra devastating.
