The thing about free wargear is that it's not actually that much simpler. You still have to decide which piece you're taking. The only thing they removed was the cost consideration of what you pick.
It is simpler. Instead of having to decide between an AP5 weapon or an AP2 weapon that's more expensive but otherwise identical, now you just take the AP2 weapon because it's objectively better than the AP5 weapon.
In this case simpler is not better.
The cost consideration was a significant part of choosing the weapons though. Often it was the difference between equipping really good weapons or straight up getting a whole other unit for the same price.
