I don't want WOTC to design around me.
I want WOTC to not design around the desires of 20% of the community and have that decision hold the game and community hostage for 2 decades.

I guess that depends if you classify having to injure yourself as a problem.

The 3e psion was developed and released relatively early in 3e's run, actually.
Well, to be fair, the 3e Psion does have noticeable differences with the 3.5 Expanded Psionics Handbook Psion. They might look the same, but six subclasses of the same class with a different casting stat was a bit eye-brow raising.
Heck, I had DM's giving me the hairy eyeball for playing an Illumian ("What do you mean, you use your Strength to determine your spells?")!

I mean, for a barb? If we want to go with that, unarmed attack, halved to 1-2 damage? I find the easier way is to continue attacking most of the time, which is typically when the rage is needed the most because it means you're stuck in. But again, the big reason when you rage is a consideration with the berserker is because the subclass is basically broken at moment and they (as far as I remember, which admittedly was something like a year ago since I checked) did some decent work fixing things in that regard.

Huh. I do but I didnt realize it.
It is reasonable to split the 5e Fighter into two separate classes, a heavy infantry Knight and a light infantry Skirmisher. The Knight gets the heavy armor, the Skirmisher gets the mobility. The Skirmisher keeps the name "Fighter".
Knight subclasses include: Cavalier, Paladin, Battlemaster, Samurai, and Eldritch Knight. (Eldritch Knight actually dabbles in light Mage Armor with magical mobility, but is a tank.)
Skirmisher subclasses include: Ranger, Champion, Barbarian, Scout, Athlete, and Psi War.
Rogue is special ops.
Monk is all Dex-fighting.
Warlord is military intelligence and inspiration.

And that's why people play Bear Barbarians instead of the lame Beserker.

Then you're going to have to get at least 70% of WotC's consumer base to agree, vociferously and publicly, with you. Because that's the only way WotC makes those kinds of changes.

I preferred 3.0's psion, personally.
