I get the problem but I look at it this way.
Apex by complete default is a Battle Royal, any other mode is to keep you on the game (you're supposed to love playing) without forcing you to play BR if you're feeling burnt out.
The modes switch frequently so people who really don't like a mode don't feel like they're there for too long and only have to play 1 match before you get to try another or there is something "different" happening over and over.
I think the biggest issue is we have come so used to the modes that are there now we have observer bias.
I always find it's gun run and I like the game play itself, I just really really want to do my challeneges and the best way is the modes with selectable guns (any weapon challenge Max 4 Games).
Selectable modes wouldn't be a terrible idea but the Apex community just hates Que times wayyyyyyyyyy too much that I don't think it's worth the headache.
