I guess I can't much argue with anything you said. All true. One thing that stands out for me is Destiny's unrivaled game/shooting mechanics. But what I said before is still true for me. I like & enjoy Borderlands games more, and of course this is subjective.
After playing D1 daily from the time it was released, then playing D2 less faithfully up until 8 months ago, I've had it with this franchise. I won't get into specifics but I'm sure you've heard it all before. Most of my issues stem from this game having pvp and all the changes Bungie makes due to that fact. Borderlands 3 is in many ways a lesser game, but as a non-pvp single player it's just what I like. Now if it had Destiny's game mechanics then it would be pretty perfect.

100% agree about PvP. It's awful and it brings down the rest of the game by existing. That's almost unarguable. And yeah preference is definitely subjective. And good on you for liking borderlands, I love it too, mostly the charm of its world and how it doesn't take itself seriously. That being said, if the community was chomping at the bit to criticize BL with the Adamance that they have for criticizing destiny, it wouldn't last a single day. Most of the criticisms of destiny apply to BL and many more do as well. However, people refuse to be objective and are judicious in their application if criticism. There are criticisms of destiny that no one would dare apply to any other game and that would absolutely apply to BL and many more games.

I put it to a difference in expectations. Borderlands players don't expect as much as Destiny players. But I also think there's an underlying conflict in Destiny; pve player's expectations vs pvp player's expectations being in direct conflict, which Borderlands doesn't have to deal with.
