Compared to say Trophy or Ascension point upgrades, where switching them around is very easy (and therefore worth doing if you want to min-max certain activities), the pet map is complicated and confusing. Unlocking is not an easy task. Upgrading individual orbs is not an easy task. It would probably take a few minutes per reset (for any player with a decent amount of unlocks and PP) to min-max for Arena and/or farming.
It's very unlikely that most/many people will bother to reset it regularly. The most likely reason anyone would reset it is if they messed up. And I strongly disagree with forcing people to pay real money in order to correct a mistake. Real money purchases should be used for fun, cosmetic, upgrade or QoL things. It should only be used to discourage something if there's legitimate reason to want to discourage that thing (like name changes -- there's really no reason to need to do that regularly).
With a system as complicated as the pet map is, resets are going to be almost a necessity for a lot of players. Not letting them do so freely is unreasonable in my opinion.
Big +1 from me. The pet upgrade system Ray came up with is lovely and should be treated as such: Allow the players to get in there and tinker to their hearts desire. Especially initially, and no Im not talking about a couple free resets for the first week.

I do like the idea of having them as a stackable and in-game obtainable item.
My first impression of using the new pet map was simply confusion. Unfortunately I realized I messed up really quickly and forked over 400 Diamonds having not known that codes were out for free resets. Bit of an annoyance. Price looked and felt ridiculously absurd, but I digress. I then continued to tinker around but again I realized that perhaps there could have been better ways to go about things. At this point, I began realizing that I should actually make an pet arena specific build to begin with. Sigh.
In my opinion... Seeing the two distinctly different use cases for pet builds (arena vs idle), I honestly don't understand why they aren't properly broken up as such. This would improve QoL several fold, make the experience much nicer and smoother overall. Systems should not be made more complicated (or simply worse) in order to implement a Diamond net.
