Being "available for everyone" is not a good thing. Sometimes it's better some things are closed off.
For example, Point-Blank Shot was a stone-cold tax feat that everyone wanted to skip, but everyone was burdened with.
Your post doesn't serve to advance a conversation, it seems like griping onto PF1 when, in terms of market share and accessibility, the game needs an update.
Now, a wholly different argument would be saying "hey, without Attacks of Opportunity, a lot of classes don't have an use for reactions, and combat feels like a constant chase", or "I don't have a lot of ways to make a more warrior-like Bard other than Fighter MC, and maybe I just want the dueling talents".
Focusing on what's different between two editions as though as it were inherently bad/good without looking at the system is disingenuous.
First please don't speak for everyone. I liked point-blank shot. The system should allow people to play the styles of characters they want. As it is now I can't play an Elven ranger with a bow as he never will have any options for his bow unless he decides to take fighter dedication. Which means that is a feat tax and because the way the "multi classing" works I am behind on feats in number and in power.
You do know that video that guy posted from Youtube isn't a Longbow. And he's also not in the heat of battle.
