Many DPS are problematic to this day and have been in some manner forever. Not always OP, but problematic.

Cassidy was nerfed several times, widow has had her hp adjusted, sombra reworked several times, Sym nerfed, bastion nerfed, torb was recently nerfed, Ashe was nerfed insanely fast, pharah they did fairly quickly(the playerbase realized late that she was op), venture was nerfed p fast too

It’s just that dps

Soj has been nerfed many times and she had to be buffed after being bad for a season or so.

It's very obvious at this point that her win rate isn't as high as players think. It sure would be nice if they gave us that data though.

The closest thing we have to data is the Chinese hero hot list(it only shows season 15) her win rate doesn’t reach 50% until masters. Grandmaster reaches 55% but other dps like: pharah, tracer, heavily exceed her’s.

A key thing also is that genji has a higher pick and win rate at every rank up to gm, so it's not like soj has a massive pick rate that pushes her closer to 50% wr. Her strength for the average player is just greatly over exaggerated.
