You usually don't need the shield for anything. Biggoron. Baffling that they made the MS so obsolete in a game where it mattered so much lol

I wouldn't say it's obsolete. Having a shield for defence is definitely more comfortable, if not strictly necessary if you know what you're doing. The game does a pretty good job of balancing the Biggoron Sword as being the riskier option for people that want to play more aggressively.

It's the same thing with Fierce Deity Mask. It makes the final boss a joke.

The FD mask is pretty explicitly just the god mode option. You found all the masks and completed a bunch of optional challenge mini-dungeons, and as a reward you get a magic win button (revisiting Twinmold aside) that's also really cool-looking. It's a good example of the philosophy that letting players break the game is fine if you make them work for it, which is a philosophy I generally like.

They've had multiple chances to win me back

I dunno about that. You've got a tendency to be very stubborn about being unhappy with stuff. I have little to no reason to believe that you actually tried to enjoy any of the Nintendo games you've played over the years when you frequently break out comments amounting to "the mere existence of touch screens makes the world a worse place and I am offended that one is attached to the DS/3DS/WiiU/Switch," especially when anyone that's paid any attention knows that the Switch makes almost no use of its touch screen. To call that a genuine "chance to win you back" perhaps overestimates your open-mindedness and underestimates the degree to which you believe that disliking a given piece of entertainment media is a badge of honour.
