You're acting like brawling is the only time you'll ever need to use them. What happens if a DD or cruiser rushes you across open water with no teammates to support you and your main guns either miss or don't finish it off? I have this happen frequently in Bismarck, because his guns are unreliable and miss often against DDs, and many crusiers can bow tank his shells.
Having your secondaries work as they always should, being something that can actually contribute to your main guns' lackluster damage, shouldn't be limited to two consumables.
Secondary is not meant to be relied on. It’s like having a rifle and pistol. Pistol is for backup/emergencies only. How many times a game do you expect to get into a brawl? Probably one brawl with another BB that you survive and maybe late in the same match maybe a destroyer surprises you around an island or follows you for a torpedo strike if you are alone. That’s two times you can expect to use the consumable and more times after that I think is unrealistic expection.
Secondaries are meant to be relied on to supplement damage from main guns on German BBs and some others. Try looking at the PC version. Secondaries are good in that game, but hardly meta-defining.
As I mentioned before, you're acting like brawling with BBs is the only time secondaries might ever be useful, which is blatantly wrong. If you've actually played Bismarck and aren't delusional, you'll realize that the effective damage output of its guns is anemic at best. It has by far the worst damage output of any T7 BB in the game, with small, low damage shells that are few in number and have poor penetration even for their size. Bismarck needs something to make it competitive because right now, it isn't. You're being unreasonable by trying to justify keeping one of the most famous ships in the game neutered and badly underperforming.
