You can't destroy the houses with bombs but I don't see anyone complaining about that. At some point you have to put a limit on how destructible the environment is, not every game can have a completely destructible environment and that's not a knock against games that don't. BotW's interactions are far more complex than simply making your weapons destroy whatever they touch like in some games. Certain objects in the world are set pieces, the enemy camps are one of those objects. If you could destroy them, why couldn't you destroy the houses in the towns? That would be a pretty sad Zelda game. If you could destroy the houses, why couldn't you destroy the Great Deku Tree? That'd be even sadder. I write these things off not as lack of attention to detail, but as certain objects just being too sturdy to damage with your sword. I'm not upset that I can't damage the Great Deku Tree, if anything I'd be pissed off if you could. It'd be like Skyrim where you have to be careful not to unsheathe your weapons at the wrong time, but a thousand times worse because you could irreparably damage plot critical characters and places.
