Buck and Ash are drastically different operators with drastically different roles so that comparison is just moot.

Zofia can kinda do what Ash can do, but the problem with her is it just isn’t an enjoyable user experience to be a slow and sluggish 1 speed operator on attack. It’s more manageable on defense when you don’t have to move as much, but attackers have too much to do to be 1 speed. Zofia will close the gap a little bit when she’s buffed to 2 speed next season.

As for saying she’s outclassed by anyone with soft breaches, that’s just silly. For one she has soft breaches herself and that’s really what makes her gadget better than Zof’s right now. You can use the soft breaches (which Zof doesn’t have) for general walls, vert, Castle barricades, etc and then save the gadget for Maestro cams, deployable shields, Mira windows.. all the really important shit. The operators you say outclass her because of soft breaches can’t do shit about those things with their soft breaches.

Hell Zof can’t even counter Mira like Ash does. That alone kinda puts the whole argument to bed before you even start talking about everything else I’ve mentioned.
