Hot take: Soggy bottom pies are actually a win in my book.
The soft texture is way more comforting to eat.

Honestly, how can you stand that wet, mushy texture?

Isn't that texture kind of the whole appeal? Sounds like terrys38 would rather eat cardboard.

Remember reading an old cooking blog last week that called it a "gravy-soaked crust" tradition from British pub pies. That writer would totally agree with river_hernandez45 about texture being the main point. A crisp bottom on a fruit pie can sometimes fight against the filling. A little give in the crust soaks up the juices, especially in a cherry or peach pie. It turns the whole thing into one soft, warm bite instead of two separate parts.
