I have backed several games on Kickstarter that didn’t have miniatures. Thunderbirds, Clans of Caledonia, Dinogenics and Mountaineers just use wooden or plastic meeples or standees. I don’t think miniatures are a necessary evil, I think they’re a conscious, creative choice on the part of the designers.

You’re right that in the case of a miniatures game they’re often the thing people get excited about first but people still get excited about games that don’t have them; it’s just a different audience.
