I hadn't used any bows besides Leviathan's Breath that I remember for a build that lasted longer than a day in years and I can see what people mean. I remade a Hierarchy of Needs build and took it into Caldera earlier and *red bars* were surviving with a sliver of health left from a high impact exotic bow. Setting aside the weird crit boxes several enemies like Vex have what with needing to aim *below* the crit box to actually land one (actually tested, more like crotch shots with a bow in the shooting range), there's no reason why one of the hardest hitting primaries in the game at base shouldn't be able to do that regardless of the weapon stat. Like what place do bows even have at this point? Other primaries will kill anything faster if the bow can't OHK it without building into a stat that doesn't benefit every weapon enough to warrant such, and unless you're always with a teammate in pvp or cracked like Hynra, you're not getting good use out of any except maybe Wish Ender and Trinity Ghoul in pvp.
