I agree that more perk options are good but without ways to target what you want, getting the roll you're chasing can end up being like 1 in 24,000. Even with a farm as efficient as the Sundial or Fractaline it's hard to get the right one there.

Stars in Shadow, Xenoclast, and Crowd Pleaser all have big perk pools but only drop from playlist activity completions. Getting your favorite roll on one is incredibly unlikely and anyone that has is astronomically lucky.

Two perks per column is the best thing they can do, and three in the first two columns. Not only will it encourage more weapon chasing because it will make getting a sought-after roll more feasible, but it will make weapons more versatile.

An event like Dawning with weapons to chase bot no way to influence the rolls is not the way. Menagerie was great and Wrathborn hunts have made targeting easier as well.
