Why does rift respawn?

I'm a Gold I jungler main who is also pretty fluent in the other lanes. I've been playing League of Legends since season 1. I've always supported the game and enjoy the changes they add and even if I don't, I keep my mouth shut and get used to it. But for some reason, the fact that Rift Herald respawns in the new season really rubs me the wrong way and I hate it quite a lot. But I'll adapt nonetheless. I know I'm not the greatest league player that has ever lived, I am only Gold, but I play as much as any other casual league players. Just wondering other people's thoughts! Thank you for reading my nonsense :)

As a top laner, theres nothing better than having 2 heralds. It means that if I win lane then I can easily take herald (With jungler the first time, then solo the 2nd) and then use that to have a giant impact on the game. I feel that if herald respawning was removed then toplane would have even less impact early on, since herald basically means a turret unless 2 - 3 people are top to deal with it. The difference between opening top lane, which I can naturally do if I win lane anyway by 14 - 18 mins. But the threat of me being able to take a second turret somewhere, either an early inner tower or a final outer.
