You have the right to rant on about this, but here is my proposition.

In Ranked, the Neutral Killing is usally very obvious by Day 3, being there is only 4 of them and usually they would try to kill by that time, outing their existence.

What are the odds the Spy will find exactly the evil roles off the bat? Usually, you aren't going to instantly confirm that an Escort is a Consort, or that a Spy claim is a Blackmailer if they visit.

The Spy does not see any actions targeted against themselves, such as a WW staying home or a Survivor using their vest. The odds that someone will visit them are low.

The Spy also only sees targeted actions the negatively affect the player, such as a Mafia attack. They would see things like them setting off a trap or a Bodyguard protecting them, but not much in general.

The Spy needed to be buffed in some way. Having a TI role only seeing who the Mafia and Coven visit is pointless except for outing immune roles, usually Neutral Killing.
