It sounded like a rather legitimate and meaningful feedback rant (rant not used to mean pointless complaining, but meaning honest and emotional constructive criticism) until you got to the last paragraph which took a complete conspiracy theory spinmetal hat turn for the worst. Bungie doesn't want to kill off Destiny 1. It still has months to go. And the vast majority of players who buy Destiny 2 will be Destiny 1 players. And they'll make that decision based on their experiences in Destiny 1. They're not going to buy the new game if the last one left a bad taste in their mouth and Bungie knows that. They're not tying to put themselves out of business. The simple fact is, fixing this meta is hard. Bungie designed a poorly balanced game, and short of rewriting how every weapon and ability works, it's not getting fixed. This is as close to a primary weapon meta as we are going to get. Do you still get sidearm'd down? Yes. But I also have gotten sniped and shotgun rushed and even occasionally vooped. The real test is whether you can adjust to counter it. This is a game of counters. If you're getting side armed down, switch off your hand cannon and throw on a scout or pulse and kill them before they're in optimal side arm range. You have to counter them or they'll just counter you. That's how the game works. But if you just want to use the same weapon despite the fact that people are hard countering it, then just get used to dying. That's just how the game works.
