Why so many useless trinkets?

This annoyed me in Dragonflight, but in the current expansion, it’s getting ridiculous. There are tens and tens of useless trinkets that are just straight DE material/junk. What’s really pissing me off is that weekly rewards and Bountiful Delves include these useless trinkets.

The first week TWW came out, almost all the rewards I got from weeklies and the chests were useless trinkets. Now I’m doing T7/T8 Delves, and at least a third of the key chest loot is, again, these stupid trinkets that aren’t even in the top 20 trinkets.

Why? I remember Blizzard saying at some point they wanted players to have “fun” trinkets. But come on, what’s fun about some random “does X amount of damage” trinket that isn’t even comparable to 5-man/raid trinkets? All the other slots have very few options to loot, but somehow trinkets have a myriad of useless options that are pure junk. Like, why? Was some developer so bored they kept generating random trinkets with AI just so players would have options, even if these options aren’t viable for anyone trying to do decent damage?

To bloat the loot tables. You get something, but you don’t really - and so you keep playing.

Just wait, blizzard are aware of the issue

“We’ve received feedback about the inconsistency in performance across Delves trinkets as a whole, and we will look to address them in a larger Delve-specific itemization sweep in the coming weeks.”

Gotta admit that it is hard to find a point in designing trinkets, that have 3-4 times longer tooltip, of what they actualy do, than some classes have patch notes on expansion releases, where at the end you still have to google what it actualy do, sim it to find out its actualy trash and go to spam one dungeon that drops your bis trinket that is actualy good old stat stick with main stat+ secondary proc or secondary +mainstat proc. Just like the other 90% of specs.
