They explain the main reason they changed it. Most of the reason for them was the fact that if you were running Golden Gun that was the only exotic that was being used.
That's why they buffed the Ahamkara gloves to get the double nades etc.
They are trying to make it so there isn't one "have" to use exotic over another one for each class and subclass.

I used YA's Spine over Symbiote on most maps in Y1. The long grenade was better than a 4th shot already; now they've turned YA's Spine into my favorite exotic and given me absolutely no reason to use Symbiote.

Which in theory I think is fine, may have to tweak certain exotics a bit more but in theory it's good
