I think it really was a product of the times. The looter shooter was fairly novel and you can see how that affect of banter w/e you wanna call it really aged badly in bl2 and 3
They even manage to make guns with wild differences and gimmicks in the legendary tier but then those are divided into "dumb gimmick that makes the gun suck" and "gun whos gimmick is that it shoots 10 shots at once and does more damage than god"
