Indiana Jones traps in Canyon of the Lost Kings

What purpose do they serve but to waste your time? It's not like you can disable them, so even if you have Harrison Ford in your party that doesn't help.

It's thematic and cool.

We need rolling boulder traps. The technology is there.

Non-removable traps can still be flagged to be seen, and hopefully avoided, by other characters.

And Spikes coming at regular intervals from either side of a a corridor, along with swishing blades, and we need an arc that casts hellball when opened by evil people.

These cannot. Many cannot.
Personally I don't mind them though. Would like if there was a way to disarm them elsewhere for the rest of the party, much like Cordor crypts where you can send your rogue ahead to open the door to avoid traps. That kinda stuff is really fun, imo.

I really like traps, but not so much for non-removable traps....

Non-removable but still-circumventable via some method or other (like the Cordor crypts one) is good design though.
