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?

I feel like Strikes is the best content to do solo. It's easy enough to play with randos and not get trashed. Bungie has upped their game in more content that is relatively easier to play causually with friends of all skill levels like Gambit, crucible, nightfall, even the raids. I feel like in D1 it was strikes, or super sweaty crucible and trials. Back then it was harder to get raids going in my mind so they were something in between. So yeah, Strikes were by far the easiest thing to do.

Now a days there is just so much easier stuff to do with friends or solo. Strikes have definitely gotten better in my mind but it's hard to just play strikes.
