Technically, it is them taking the alien, not the fan trying to give them ideas, Plus, Ben 10 has always been aimed at kids, with two kid protaginists and an entire toy line for advertising Pokemon like creatures. Teens can get attatched to things they like, I met a bunch of teens who hate Ben 10, it is just a matter of opinion. When they tried to aim for teens and adults with UAF, it failed, their ratings decreased but their toys was still doing okayish. Plus, CN is not "ruining" Ben 10, they are trying something different.

Ben 10 at its core is an action series with varied aliens to fight, when UAF decreased the aliens, the main attraction, its viewers was not interested and left, due to it trying to hard to attract teens instead of going for the main audience Ben 10 and other shows was aiming for, kids. Action was the trend from 2005 - 2010, now it's all about magic and comedy. It is all about a matter of opinion and what the new kids like.

If Cartoon Network doesn't care about stories in their shows, then why even make stories in their shows

CN doesn't decide what story those a show have, they just give the basic rundown "no swearing, no red blood, new alien every season, etc" while the writers do the rest.

Also for the deviantart, there is a possibility that guy was a character designer for the shows.
