"It doesn't matter if it's working as intended... (Destiny)
... If it feels like a glitch."
Pwadigy wrote a really good post highlighting this and how Bungie's unrealistic (in terms of expectations, not real-world realism) idea of optimal weapon ranges is hurting PvP.

You can probably skip the history lesson, but the rest is well worth a read, particularly the section on ganking range and the "no mid-range" meta.
Edit: Also are there many people who don't realise the phenomenon is a result of bloom and accuracy interaction? There's not much debate about what is happening so much as why it is or isn't a good implementation, surely?
