Regardless of whether you were satisfied with the brothers' relationship in season seven, it wasn't a D/C fuckfest with sidelined Sam either. This isn't an either-or situation.

I agree. If someone didn't like the brothers in S7, it's hard to blame it on Cas.

Something potentially wanky I've avoided saying before, is that I was kinda glad when the cries of "YAY SHOW IS BACK" died down early in S7. In part because it was personally irritating because I hadn't felt it ever went away, which isn't the wanky part, but also in part because it would have made a lot of fandom experience much less enjoyable for me if ~the return to being good~ just happened to coincide with Cas being downgraded from a regular character. Because him or another other secondary character being there, in the sorts of quantities we're talking about, has nothing to do with whether the writers are interested in writing, or able to write, enough of the acceptable "brotherly bonding" scenes that the fans that miss them want. Not that I'm happy that other fans are unhappy! (For their own sake, and not just because I don't enjoy meme hating the show either). And I too found the season tailed off a lot compared to what it seemed it was setting up, and overall I'd be willing to accept a constant "SHOW IS BACK!" chorus in return for getting a season I enjoyed a lot more. But the wank would have been horrible.

tl;dr, what you said, Cas is orthogonal to whether Sam and Dean's relationship satisfies people.
