They still did downgrade the controllers. If I want to let go of an object in-game with the index controllers then I just naturally let go of the controller, but with these the controller would fall to the ground, or at least just be dangling by a wrist strap.

Hand straps will be available, though! They‘re mentioned and shown in a few places in Tested‘s coverage of the Frame.

Wow, I take it back then. Having them be removable and replaceable is a clear upgrade. That's awesome.

There is an optional accessory for knuckle straps for these, mentioned in some of the 3rd party reviews.

Which somewhat implies the ability for custom knuckle straps and other accessories as well since they are detachable with mount points.
