General Should factions have completely different units or shared ones?

Honestly factions should have mostly different units. If everybody shares the same soldiers with tiny changes, What's the point again? One reason Red Alert still gets my attention today i because Allies and Soviets actually felt different. This copy-paste faction style modern devs that they do now feels lazy.

This copy-and-paste faction trend is one of the reasons I lose interest quickly. If every faction has the same tank, same soldier and same strategy with different colours, what's the excitement? I was literally talking about this today. Back then, choosing a faction actually meant choosing a playstyle. Now developers seem afraid of making players adapt.
