raids suck ass because of how bungie treats core mechanics and raids in general nowadays. there is no "hard mode"s for the raids besides leviathan, so once you got the normal raid gear, thats it. there is rarely any time where screwing up something doesnt cause an instant wipe (i.e. riven eyeballs best example) revive tokens completely ruin chances of players who dont raid as dying causes a huge detriment to the team theres rarely any unique perks on weapons, like oracle disruptor on the VoG shotgun or knight shield piercing for crota weapons and will of light for kings fall weaponry. in destiny 1 raids were the finale to the game, where you snag a squad and gain cool ass weapons that provide unique benefits nows its just flashy looking weapons that dont do jack shit other then look really cool, sometimes you'll find the godroll weapon from it but i digress.
