The way I see it, if you don't like making potions or enchanting, don't do either.
That's the cool thing about Minecraft. You don't HAVE to go to The End, you don't HAVE to craft Snow Golems, you don't HAVE to do anything.
Don't like it? Don't do it. Simple as that. You've already solved your own problem by not partaking in the new stuff, so why complain about something you've chosen to have nothing to do with?
