I feel a lot of these nerfs are because of the fact that on PC, recoil is not a thing. So weapons are way more effective and easier to use because you can keep the reticle on the target so much easier. So some weapons are perceived as being more powerful. On top of the fact that Bungie does indeed listen to the YouTubers which mostly play on PC and seems to ignore the constructive feedback from the forums. Bungie's solution to make all weapons and perks equally mediocre is not a the way to make a game fun.
