Because they lied (Destiny)
Gjallarhorn is clearly the most powerful rocket / heavy in the entire game. Nobody - nobody - has a video going 'look how fast I took down this enemy!' with anything BUT Gjallarhorn.
If it's a pistol montage, all I ever see are Hawkmoon or occasionally Thorn. Snipers? Well it's called Gamebreaker for a reason.
The 'not actually overpowered' statement could be taken as 'when balanced by the fact you can only have one equipped' and 'you'll have to stop and switch weapons if you want more than one in a fight.' I.e. in the context of the rest of the design rather than just the item itself (which still didn't entirely work out because of the Lollerhorn and Gamebreaker)
The sum of 7 exotics (3 weapons, 4 armours) would absolutely, definitely, certainly be overpowered.
Achlyophage Simbiote, Lucky Raspberry, Radiant Dance Machines, Gjallerhorn, Icebreaker - AHAHAHAHAHAH.
