My issue is mostly just champions, I think if they were reworked or removed that a lot of the problem with build potential would be solved.

Dps meta has been heavily flattened. Shotguns work… Izzy/rockets work, just rockets work, sleeper works, other linears work, witherhoard/rockets works witherhoard/linears works etc etc. some supers are not practical for boss dps but dps from supers isn’t currently critical in any raid or grandmaster (except maybe trying to 1 phase/cheese riven) Workable builds (other than stupid champion mods) game wise is way better than it was last year and will get better with arc and solar 3.0

I’m gonna put this out there. Even if Bungie were gonna get rid of “restricting” loadouts (from the artifact), people would still only use one loadout. They’d find whatever works best and not stop using it. Then Bungie would nerf it, and people would get mad. That’s why I believe Bungie changes the pve meta every season. They want people to use weapons they don’t normally use.
