The higher power (level) you get, the harder and more unfun everything becomes all of the time. So people are deleting their high power gear in order to have fun with lower activities again.
Making every single activity the top level difficulty is beyond bad. It is the most inept game creation decision I have ever heard of. Even dark souls games get easier as you gain levels.
What exactly is wrong with you. Why exactly do you hate your game and player base so much?
Seriously, having to go balls to the wall in everything one does to get any meaningful loot is indescribably bad.

Reasons to hate this player base have been plastered all over this board for a decade. Besides, Bungie has done plenty over the years to prop up its more challenged beneficiary part of the player spectrum. Look no further than ruining Comp and Trials, and countless shadow mechanics to boost them in Quickplay (e.g. damage referee, comeback, ghost bullets, protective mm, rng shot patterns, efc.). All in the name of "inclusion". The base has also been catered to with plenty of QOL requests honored. When it comes to pve difficulty level, Bungie is on the right track making it customizable. Something too tough?.....sray out. ... I have zero issue with the structure. Tougher content for those thst need / want the challenge should be there. And no. I'm not a part of that crowd for the most part these days, mostly because there's no pve endgame difference makers to farm for pvp use. Yes, I gutted out Nechrochasm and catalyst.
