What about the exotic piece? Don't think most would use the bonus if they lost the exotic.

It's personal choice. Wouldn't you take a rounded stat boost over a perk for a sub-class you don't like?

Maybe if the full set gave exotic like bonuses.

That would be cool.

Then we can give a set effect that can compare to an exotic or slightly below an exotic performance wise like a small reload speed bonus for all weapons, or a noticeable reload speed bonus for a certain weapon type. Have set effects be more useful the more pieces you have of that set. Like doubling effects of buffs on you as well as debuffs inflicted on you. Another one could be doubling the time buffs are on you as well as debuffs on you. It increases kill potential while having a nasty drawback of working against you like having suppressor grenade last longer on you than others not having the set effect. Risk and reward. Bungie seems to love tradeoffs so i threw some in.

They would lose the exotic if the raid bonus was a good enough trade off.

That's the thing, an exotic could be an alternative for someone who does like the bonus the gear provides. Their are some exotics that I feel are needless in raids so theirs no point in having them. For the most part I just use Bones of Eoa for the relic running in the Kingsfall Raid or Knuckle Head Radar, during anything else, but that's not gonna bee needed anymore due to the new artifact. Crest of Alpha lupi is good for orb making but that's about it since they increased the revive time.
