Personally, I don't see why not as long as there are multiple options. I thought the raid weapons from year 1 were super useful, and then as trials weapons got burns it gave us more options to play with. Even though I understand that they don't want non-elemental primaries to feel useless, I just wish that Zhalo wasn't the only useful primary if burns are active.
I think it would be cool if there was a way to infuse a primary so that it becomes elemental. That would be awesome if we had to raid (or something) to get an item that we could then use to imbue our primaries with arc burn or whatever.
Thoughts?
*edit* thanks for all the likes. I really hope bungie gets to see this and at least consider it. I definitely think they should bring it back.
