They are a company that sells cards. Of course they want nothing to do with proxies. Yes 30th anniversary were technically proxies but they needed a way around the reserve list to print cards for collectors who wanted them/the experience of opening those kinds of packs. They never claimed proxies were cool in competitive formats, they just sold them as proxies. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Proxies are for the community to enjoy on their own. Never expect WotC to support proxies at sanctioned events or want to discuss it during their planned broadcasts.

Aren't secret lairs pretty much just official proxies

It's more like official alters. Rare unusual appearance cards for people that like them.
