It works like this:

1. There is mastery. To rise through the dickmeasuring - you have to level weapons. There are too many of them to balance, and naturally some have to be better than the others.

2. Not everyone starts at mastery 8, having access and mats for everything. For some - this might be a fine weapon at lower levels.

3. Some people, who have far leveled everything they wanted, or who have just got their prize weapons and don't care about mastery above the weapon requirements - forma some vanity weapons for their playstyle. Pushing some 40+ with Bratons, or making this gun look remotely reminiscent of Boltor Prime. Everyone has their kinks.

However, it should be noted, that just as there is almost(but there still is) no trash, there is no approach like "horrible players who can't use anything else except for Rhino, Soma, Brakk and Orthos prime". This is called the BiS(or well, remote from BiS) setup, and that's what steers the ship. Everyone should, by definition, struggle to get it, as it's not only prestige, but also proof of their capability. If there is a better gun, and you still pimp the weaker gun just because you want so - doesn't mean others will give a hug.
