My kids live in a different environment than I did as a child. They've got privileges I didn't have as a child, but they have disadvantages. They don't see their mum as much.

All of the usual formations have advantages and disadvantages, but none would work without the magic of the players.
Further, a defensive policy involves the loss of the initiative, with all the consequent disadvantages to the defender.
I have wondered sometimes if there are not perhaps some disadvantages in having really blue blood in one's veins, like grandmamma and me.
