This tug war between Fun and Challenge has been ongoing since Warframe itself.
Focusing on Saryn is, in my opinion, wasted time as she allready recieved a "nerf", or "rebalance". The way Saryn now works is on a group of living, close enemies. ESO provides just that.
But let's forget about Saryn for a moment. Let's say that a squad goes onto, say, an excavation mission. For an Archon hunt or fissure, just imagine a mission where you have an objective to defend.
SP or not, if one player nukes the room , it may leave disappointed one or more teammates, as we all crave the violence in Warframe. But it also means, the excavator(s) are now defended, until more enemy units spawn. The objective has been mantained. Batteries drop, and players get the reward, even if 1/4 is enjoing the game. You can ask the nuker to let the others "have fun" or not, and they may agree and apologize, or cuss, or not. It boils down to human nature.
In the "balanced" world, where nobody can nuke the map, the challenge of keeping up against infinite spawn of enemies may tire out one or more players. The squad may fail, completely. "This is too hard" will appear in the Forums. "please fix it, make it easier" can and will become the idea of the players. There are millions of way to go about it: "I have work and only have the opportunity to play during Weekends" vs "I play all the time since I have finished my homework fast". These are just opinions I've seen, I want you to understand, I am not judging anyone, Ninjas Play Free after all.
TL;DR: You have to choose between being the one who carries, or be carried.
This has been my experience in the past 7 years of Warframe, and I have made peace with it. Maybe aging and become more mature, not caring about "being top damage".
Remember when the new mission screens were added? this was a clever move by DE to sweep under the rug the damage stats. because people were literally insulting each other over dps.
To me, the perfect situation was the good old, buggy raids. DPS was needed as much as CC. Wich is no longer a possibility, now that Damage is King. But at the same time we can't just remove the Trumna, the Kuva Bramma. Thank you for reading.
