Tell me how many void walkers ran something different than the gernade build. Or sunsingers that didn't use self rez viking funeral and touch of flame? stiker titans that didn't use skate, lightning Jug shotgun and twilight?Or Defenders thay didn't use NBP and a Shot in a armor bubble with magnetics? Sunbreaker with tracking chain explosions and cauterize and fusions in pvp? hunters that didn't use quiver wombo extended duration and envenomed with shade step helm and tracker Arc blades without backstab, ready up and kills extend duration of super? That's right you dont.

I'm actually one of those guys that used different builds on almost everything you mentioned

Those were just primo examples, but still. Did you really muck around with builds THAT much, or did you just find ones you liked and run them?

The builds I like, happen to be builds the community doesn't. I'm trash with hand cannons and sniper rifles. I use high impact scouts and low-medium impact autos. Lightning grenades never worked for me so I used flashbangs. I didn't use jugg or shoulder charge because I knew people hated it. So I went for unstoppable. And that's just one subclass. My defender I'll put in whatever. Whatever the situation is. I don't run NBP. Don't like it. I use war machine instead of unbreakable because it helps on engagements rather than future engagements.

Interesting. But still, you had fairly fixed builds, right?

Tbh, my Titan's builds switch often. My hunter switches a bit and my warlock doesn't much...but if you look at how long I play my Titan (across both consoles) vs the other 2 then there's the reason. I played about 4 days on my warlock, 4 days on my hunter, and about a month on my Titan

Okay, that makes sense somewhat. But generally speaking, most players found a combo that they liked (or that other people liked), and have run with it. Honestly think that the paths are going to be similar to about 65+% of the playerbase's primary builds.

"Thank you daddy actibungie for taking away all those confusing builds. All those choices made my head hurt. Please tell me which weapons to use and how to hold my controller next"

Not quite. Hell, they only have "gotten rid of" two columns of perks. We still have Grenades, Mobility, and now Specialization columns. The only difference is that we don't have as many modifiers to supers (understandable, since there was always at least one that was niche at best), or the overall mods (which we still get, but are now grouped to optimize functionality)
