Honest question - are you intentioned to answer to every criticism with what is essentially a strawman, or you can eventually come up with an actual answer?
Just to know where I can come back here in this thread and read something that can address the points above.

It wasn't a straw man but it may have been a reductio absurdium. you can't argue that Primaris represent a trend to nonsensiacal design when Space Marines have nonsense design baked into them at their core. people seem to be happy to criticism the smallest detail about primaris marines well given stuff that has been around ages but is even more absurd a pass

It's still an intentional misinterpretation, but I admit that the reductio ad absurdum fits more.
Anyhow, it's still wrong because you intentionally ignore the premise - the former marines were set into a given and accepted over the top framework. The attempt to insert the Primars in a superficially more "realistic" style has the opposite effect of shattering the suspension of disbelief. Other than clashing with the aforementioned framework once again when the specific specialization and strong/weak point of a given larger faction are taken into account.
Furthermore, you talked about knives when people talked about land speeders so really no. It wasn't an honest argument in general.
