It's a Sandbox, not a linear roller coaster (Gaming)

No, but I’d argue that a developer telling someone to just not use a gameplay mechanic is silly (just as asking for a mode without it is silly).

If the mechanic is non-essential and no encounters are designed around its use, why is there to begin with? I’d argue that’s bad game design, as a general rule.

Wait, really? So the fact that I can have a perfectly good time in Destiny COMPLETELY IGNORING shotguns means that their inclusion in the game is bad game design?

(Actually, I'd agree with that, because shotguns are stupid, but I don't think that's the point.)
