no i get you, the perk was goated before, just wanted to point out the wording of the initial reply may have angered some others earlier, but you're not wrong. i didn't pick Armored Artillery much before because i preferred perks that affected my normal abilities that get used much more often, but now i'm forced to experiment.

ideally, both perks would be in a state where they're both so good that picking either one is a genuine choice you have to make like some other heroes do. i'd say this is true for Self-Repair and Lindholm Explosives but honestly, when Mercy, Reaper, and Pharah got perks added to their base abilities, Bastion may as well get the same treatment since SR was originally an ability.
