I agree with some of your points, but not all.
To start with the part I disagree with, I believe we should not take Ash's extremely high pick rate lightly. With 27 legends in a three-person squad, the ideal pick rate is around 3%. A pick rate of 20-30% is clearly unhealthy and a problem we can't ignore.
On the other hand, disruptive abilities like those of Seer and Caustic are important in a strategic battle royale, and it's also true that there are players who enjoy them. We should understand that the developers have to consider diverse player needs.
Where I completely agree with you is that the ideal solution is to give other low-pick legends fun, positive changes, instead of just making obnoxious abilities stronger.
However, the developers seem to lack a sense of urgency. I understand that balancing the game is a difficult task and prone to failure, but if things continue as they are, many players will misunderstand their intentions, become disappointed, and stop playing.
The developers should be actively sharing their intentions and limitations to the players.

Not going to say I don’t play ash the most most because I do she is fun and her kit was not broken ballistic Q, worse than tether ever thought about being an alter portal is worse than any Ash port ever thought about being ash should have been the standard for characters not whatever caustic and seer are only reason she got nerf was because her pic rate which is crazy. Pick rate should be a good thing.

When a pick rate is "crazy" as you so put it - that in itself tells you there is a balancing issue that needs to be address. When every team is running an Ash - that is NOT a good thing... it proves there is a serious problem that hasn't been addressed by a Dev team that typically doesn't know what they are doing - or don't care.
