That's his whole point, you just shoehorned a third of the alignment system out of your sessions with that one move. If that's what you and your players want then that's fine, but it's certainly not better like you seem to think.

Oh yeah, players and DM love chaotic evil characters. Because they are always so fun to have around.

If theres going to be a party then the players are responsible for coming up with a justification why their character would agree to work together with the rest of the party. I will always welcome even evil characters if and only if their player can actually show that they are capable of the necessary teamwork. The evil guy helping good guys begrudginly because they get something out of it is a classic trope and that's all fine.

Meanwhile, if your alignment is the classic Chaotic Stupid and you go full murderhobo and backstabber, why would the rest of the part ever tolerate that? They'll turn up face downwards in the nearest ditch and the player can try coming up with a new character that actually wants to be in the party.
