Since Glaives in WQ prove that the technology is possible, it would be awesome if more weapons got unique melees for uncharged melee attacks.
The most obvious example being, of course, Monte Carlo. Ever since D1 people have been wanting to use the bayonet to do the stabby stabby. I don’t think this should be a functionality saved for some catalyst (The catalyst should be imo some sort of AR equivalent of One-Two Punch, to completely round out its melee-centric perk set)
Of course, there are other weapons, like Crimson, and a few legendaries that just so happen to have a knife on them. It doesn’t have to be powerful. Just a bit of extra damage for the default melee, to give those weapons more value.

Don't think to just Bayonets. Forerunner's "old animations" could be brought back.
