Shaders limit player expression because you can only pick from the color combinations Bungie has made available.
The recent eververse shaders all feature special effects/textures, because Bungie thinks players would not buy shaders without them.
And so, I hope Bungie understands that there's only so many shaders you can make in an 8 year-old game and that they should either get rid of them in favor of a color picker, or introduce custom shaders: shaders merged from other shaders you own.

I’ve been saying for years. I will never understand the appeal of the shader system. If they want shaders for microstransactions purposes then they can keep shaders that have unique texture features, but let us at least choose our own regular colours.
