What happened to strikes? (Destiny)

Strikes in Destiny 2 are really good. They're much more involved, with more interesting encounters and bosses.

Why do they feel so insignificant compared to what they were in Destiny 1? Am I just remember incorrectly? I feel like Strikes were the thing to do in D1, the thing everyone ran over and over and over again. And this is even before the Y3 Strike Scoring and Skeleton Keys and whatnot were introduced, as I wasn't playing when that happened.

I rarely run strikes now. I do my milestones for them, and help people with Nightfalls. I generally enjoy them, but I don't feel like they're they thing to do like they used to be. Is the rest of the content in Destiny 2 just so good that strikes feel lackluster by comparison? Or am I just imagining things?

Once you complete the milestone, the drop at the end isn't worth the time. And the only point to play Destiny now is for the drop. (So it seems, to me.)
