What is the general consensus on the Icon of Sin boss fight at the end of Doom 2?

I just finished it for the first time and I have to say it was super underwhelming and gimmicky. I really didn't find it fun or challenging to have the time the rockets with the elevator so that they would hit this very specific obvious weak point. Knowing that the whole fight would've been trivialized if I suddenly turned on Vertical Aim kept me from doing so, but in the end I kind of wish I had just so it would have been over sooner. Level 29 was also kind of underwhelming for me.

Spirit World was a fucking baller level though. It felt like a proper climax. If only there had been a cool boss battle at the end versus Satan or something, or an Icon of Sin that wasn't a gimmick fight.

Please tell me this is some sort of elaborate practical joke.

Please.
