First of all, getting knocked out of your zoom in Halo was not exclusive to snipers. It happened with all scoped weapons. Many players found it overly punishing, and it could cause annoying loops where you click the zoom button just as you get shot, so nothing happens, so you click again just as you get shot again, still nothing happens, etc.

I'm glad they ditched that mechanic for Destiny.

On the other hand, I do agree that sniper rifles in Destiny can be a bit too effective as run and gun weapons. I've suggested this before, but I think the best solution would be to increase the zoom of all the scopes. More zoom effectively narrows your field of view, and makes it way harder to hit targets that are moving around, especially at close/mid range.
