If bows are STATISTICALLY a problem, then Bungie will almost certainly nerf them.
Bungie has stated that they take community feedback into account when deciding what to nerf and buff, so bows could end up on the chopping block regardless of whether or not they *actually* deserve it.
Personally, I think bows are probably fine. They're more commonly used in Trials this season than in past seasons, but I've rarely run into them in Comp. If they were truly "OP," then I would expect to see them a lot more in Comp, especially against good teams.
Regardless, Bungie is never going to remove a weapon type from the game, and that's actually a horrible solution

I go against bows every single game regardless if it’s quick play, comp, or trials.

Bow usage in Trials is around 5%. That's approximately 1 in 20 players. Source: Destiny Tracker Weapon Usage Do you maintain that you play a bow player every game?

Bows don’t get the kills they just chip damage and then they switch off to handcannons to finish the job. I’m also in the top skill brackets in pvp so I’m versing only the cheese up here

That's usage, not kills. Trials uses CBMM, so "skill" is not taken into account.
