Is Genji's skill ceiling / coolness what leads to him being perma nerfed?

I think more than most other heroes Genji mains are more likely to be one tricks who have drilled his combos for years and played him regardless of meta. Is this what keeps devs from allowing us to have our old breakpoints? Because the 98th percentile of Genjis will be too strong?

If so why was this not a concern in OW1 where we enjoyed much higher damage despite 200hp health pools and 90% less escape abilities? (I get the argument in 5v5 with one less tank to peel but I'm comparing OW1 and OW2 6v6)

I understand it on some level but they don't seem to share the same attitude when it comes to Widow one tricks with 10k hours on kovaaks team killing from across the map.
