I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. Game elements being copied is happening all the time, it's only natural to some extent. How is a big studio copying a game mode worse than when an indy dev does it?

Yes, it happens, but not in ways that it's a direct clone of everything from top to bottom. The only difference here is that FN has it's crafting, it's own default mechanic sprinkled on top.

I like how we try to put everyone in the same boat, yet we still have bigger studios vs smaller ones, they aren't equals and never will be. 

I still genuinely don't understand what the problem is. It's not like there's no difference between the games for the consumer. Back in the day every shooter was a "Doom-clone", it's how a genre was born. It's just the evolution of gameplay.
