Seriously, look in your vault right now and tell me how many exotics you haven't used since vanilla d2, or since forsaken launched.

I could literally spend hours just listing exotics nobody uses, and instead of fixing all these exotics that don't measure up, Bungie is taking the easy route and nerfing the ones that people use the most. I suppose it's easier to make every exotic lackluster then it is to make every exotic fun after the fact.

How do you buff exotic armor to match Dire Ahamkara without breaking the game and reducing challenge even more? Starfire Protocol gives you 2 grenade charges and recharges grenades on kills? Vesper of Radius insta-kills everything around you? Geomag Stabilizers extend your chaos reach for as long as you're doing damage? I'm all for buffing some underused exotics, but at their current state, they'd have to make you damned-near invincible to compete.
