I see where you're coming from as I agree. I don't think caustic is very good at defending for me personally since his traps are so counterable by simply shooting them.
Though, if you've watched the ALGS or High level players, Caustic is one of the most picked legends as he provides a very safe environment for the team to defend. I think he is a hard defence legend to master and doesn't hold much value in low skill games since you often don't need to fully defend like in the ALGS. However, with that being said, with caustic being good in High level but underwhelming in low level play, it would be difficult for respawn to give sizable buffs and nerfs for him. But guaranteed he will continue to be a defence legend and there is no need for switching him to another category as you've said he doesn't fit in any of them.
I think respawn is taking a new approach (similar to seer being a High level scan legend and bloodhound a low level scan legend) with that some legends although appearing useless of underpowered, are very powerful in specific setting such as the ALGS and so they may not get much play by the majority of players (Mad Maggie and Newcastle) but are used frequently by High level players.
