But why not just a standard option ?

Tacticals should be able to load up on bolters and chainswords plus the 1per 5 weapon option. Assault marines should be able to take power weapons, but still be limited to not invalidate VV like TH/SS and lightning claws.

Devs already can load up on heavies, and Sternguard more or less can load up on special weapons. (Also I feel like Sternguards stratagem should have been firing both profiles of combi weapons with no penalty but that's a minor gripe)

Precedent, imagery, and to keep a different default/advantage for CSMs.

Assault Marines should definitely get more options than they currently do. Access to the other Special weapons and some slots for Power Swords/Axes etc. At least the Eviscerator went down in price.

In older editions it was the advantage to balance out ATSNKF.

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units."
Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?"
Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?"
GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!"
Chaos players: Guess i stop playing or go to HH.

Access to all the types of special pistols besides Plasma, in addition to Eviscerators, is a start. Special Weapon access is a bit silly for an Assault squad and more importantly steps on the toes of other units.

Perhaps another good case for merging some of these units - are they actually different units or just a few options - rules/equipment?

I've talked about merging units and codices before, so there ya go. I'm met with a lot of opposition though from people that don't like having a functional army.

In the old days Assault Squads had access to all the Specials,, and any model could take the full range of Assault Weapons/Pistols, plus Melta Bombs and Blind Grenades.
