Then don't! Why must you look for the exact same items?
The very fact that there are any characters capable of roles like ZDPS WD shows that there is some variety.
Pet doc, smk doc, jade doc, zdps
Fist of Heavens sader, pony sader, condemn sader, Roland
WoL monk, zdps monk, etc
In fact, just click the "Builds" link in the top of this very site. If you are going to limit yourself to what theorycrafters decide is the best, then you can. If you want to play other builds, then you can still play all but the highest GRifts. If you really think it is possible to have more than 3 builds for every class be so close to even that it doesn't matter, then you have no idea how complex that task is.
Edit: None of this is to say that they shouldn't work on having more variety, but the game is definitely getting better at it. No matter how much variety they add, however, there will be 1-3 best builds and that is all you will see because that is the most common gamer mentality.
I don't think anyone ever denied this. Unless every item is identical, there will always be a best. As long as people want to compete or copy the "best", then you will see this in the game. There are more T6 viable builds than ever. You can do anything but the highest GRifts with the build you like.
What you are complaining about doesn't contradict what they said. It is instead, a matter of gamer behavior. Now, that doesn't mean the game couldn't use some more things to make gear interesting, but it does mean they did what they said.
