Thats about the only funny thing about them. Terrible unit that allows P to win with absolute no micro with ease.

Judging from the first 2 games he can't so that would have been a decent idea

Why not try to make it work? Don't see the issue tbh, units which are iconic for starcraft should be playable in starcraft

how can you make such a unit work without making it completly amove though, it'd need a major redesign

I have no problem with them being played from time to time.
but when carrier turtle becomes one of the best ways to play the game there's a problem.

no, every unit should be playable in some situations, and that's always been the case with carriers. I don't see a way to make them actually a good unit for the game, they're possibly the most a-move and mindless unit in Starcraft

You have to individually micro every interceptor

carriers aren't complete amove though, you can micro them back after interceptors are out to avoid taking damage.
