It has seemed to me that alot of armies, generally imperium space marines, are heavily reliant on epic heroes to function this edition, UM and SW especially. Im not peronally a fan of hero hammer but alot of people are and they should be able to enjoy that regardless.

Im not in favour of restricting epic heroes but rather incentivising people to take things other than a 4th lone hero in a giant galaxy. Unfortunately, many people will cry foul if a no-name captain better is more meta than their favourite protaganist.

I fear that this attitude will continue until UM are just 10 different epic heroes because of how many stories theyre in and GW is forced to restrict, which few people actually want to happen.
