Maybe, the writers were just tired, and took the easy way out basically.
I tend to agree, if they'd have put that element back in, it would have been fun. Frasier could have made it to season 12 or even the rare 14-15th season. That would be unheard of for a comedy. but the show could have made it, especially with Friends off the air. But I guess actors tire of a series at 10 or 11 years. But maybe not, for what they make!
I think Daphne was a product of what the writers wanted her to be. Or her changes were a product of 1. her environment (family causing her ill will much of seasons 9-10 I think her Mom, etc...) .2. Changes in her life, becoming Niles girlfriend. 3. Growth as a woman, and as an "Americanized" woman perhaps. Becoming a little less English maybe due to the influence of living with Frasier and his Dad for 10 years.
