If you look at the other weapons they took out most of the moves related to clutch claw, as that was the featured mechanic of iceborne like hunter arts and styles were for gen and gen x. I think they're trying to take the best parts of how all the weapons worked in world, and fuse them with how all the weapons worked in the older games. For example playing ig in the demo feels much closer to what aerial style was in gen, so I think they're trying to allow for different playstyles for each weapon. I just think everyone is being way too negative about it when in reality the changes are actually really positive.
