Except it's a perfectly valid argument. The manga is finished, even if the anime were to only animate the canon from now on, we would have no more information than we had before, we would be at the exact same value of Naruto regardless, just it would be animated. So the fact that fillers, even if it's not good, adds something we wouldn't have otherwise, is still perfectly reasonable. Not at all. Having crappy, almost unrelated filler is absolutely inexcusable when the manga is finished. It would be reasonable if they have it after the canon portion of the series. And even if we just have canon material in the anime, the episodes will surely somewhat add some anime-only content so we would have more stuff before the series ultimately ends
