I hear you, but the monk is nowhere near done with redesigns. I think if they try a new recharge mechanic with the Warlock, and it works, that can inform the next Monk redesign as well. They acknowledge that Warlock players want something that feels different. I hope they have a good idea that splits the difference and feels right for both sides of the argument. Lots of people here who like Pact Magic suggest that 2 recharges feels right balance-wise (essentially giving 3 full loadouts per day), and BG3 gives the party 2 short rests per day. Maybe they'll mirror that as a test?Have you seen the monk? The best you're going to get is a 1/day free recharge.
If they broaden the number of spells available before a recharge (from Pact Spells or the like), I can see fewer recharges, like the Wizard has with Arcane Recovery, but I don't think that will be the case.
