Edited: Thanks for the input everyone my question has been answered. Whatever is meta I'll just play that. I shouldn't have gotten false hope for autos and eventually they will go back to being overglorified SMGs. I respect the opinions and answers I was given. It is what it is.

It's not like any of the other primaries are exactly hard to begin with, so it just boils down to what people nitpick and are biased against. "Oh autos are scrub friendly weapons," meanwhile handcannons have some of the highest aim assist and bullet magnetism of any weapon type which removes most of the difficulty of aiming them even though that's one of the largest things people state is hard to do with them. Every weapon has something that is just outright cheesy and easy to use about them and besides playstyle any decent player could use one just like the other. Destiny isn't hard, it basically does all the work for all weapons.
