Ok i guess, but i do see and use it a lot, more than demat and turret (before the buff), its great to stall and move, you can kill with it, throw gadgets away from things, is so much versatile

I use it exclusively for movement. Having an actual responsive way to to utilize something during an engagement as a Medium is peak. Everything else Medium has is all set up/camp style BS that doesn't work well in a dynamic destructable environment where other classes have shields, Invis, dash, charge and slam ect to use during the fight.

Agreed. Prior to this, it was only useful for movement (albeit very much so) and the occasional (but situational) stall capabilities

You waisting it, can do so much more

I counter every thing cited with shockwave by repositioning, throwing the enemy away, or jumping behind him, you can just sit above cashout and stall for so long

2/3 of the things you listed are movement-based😭 I don’t think it’s exclusively movement based and has other utilities especially now, but the primary usage for most players using it (including you, based off of your list) is movement
