The real reason as to why armor specific bonuses is terrible for this game, is for the simple fact that with each season, they replace what you can get from activities.
Holiday armor sets, Currently it is only Solstice, but i won't be surprised if they add for both Guardian games And Festiva of the Lost, armor sets. Is the worst ones, They don't last as long as seasonal their seasonal counter part. If you missed or didn't get the rolls you wanted, then you will have to wait a whole year, and hope that Bungie doesn't change the bonuses.
Techset is a great set that boosts your kinetic damage towards shields and when breaking a shield or dealing a final blow, It can release a disorienting blast that helps with crowd control. This set is now unavailable because it was a seasonal set.
Bushido is another set that you can't get and it gives you heal clip to all of your weapons. Good stuff.
So if there is a set with a really good bonus, You best be there or else you might miss out on something really good, permanently. This could be more fomo but on a bigger scale.

That said bungie mentioned a method to obtain old portal loot, which likely is related to the portal ciphers that are visible in the database.
