Sometimes Gedolim are great because they focus on the simple things. As Grand Master Sober once said, in a real-life situation you will probably save your life with a simple technique like a Front-kick as opposed to some fancy advanced technique
The "Minhogei CS" [10:15] writes that the CS spent the entire Seder talking to the young children - translating every word of the Hagada and explaining 'tochen ha'inyan' to them. He didn't say any Drush at all during the Seder.
He was clearly following the psak of the Rema 473:6.
In his Droshos, he writes that the Seder is not for giving pilpulim etc, but purely to talk about the Nissim veNiflaos of Hashem. The fact that he had to point this out shows that even in his days people were saying Toros and pshetlech at the seder - rather than concentrating on poshuteh pshat.

But if we just concentrate on the actual mitzvah, how will the batlans who spend their lives sitting and learning show off their superior knowledge and how clever they are to have memorized so many machlokes poskims?
