It's annoying that we have to have specific elements (Void, Arc, Solar) for certain mods. Some Exotics have no place in certain builds now because of it.
Armor 2.0 was supposed to enable us to have more customization options but with the combo restrictions and the insane cost of materials (and especially glimmer) needed, creating a build just isn't fun. It's a chore.
Funnily enough, with the increased number of options and the ability to make very specific builds ( or at least attempt to), I've put less time into builds now than I ever have.
Some of the restrictions seem like they exist just for the sake of having restrictions.

I was on board all the way up until the elemental affinity. That’s just too much. Like really? What does element have to do with anything other than to add yet another grind opportunity. I can just hear the designers spitballing random ideas on how to add more grind, and that was the best one they could come up with. I wonder if they even think it makes sense, or if they just added it in because they had to.
