TotK really makes Switch feel dated

Fusion significantly altered the combat system.

Yep, by basically turning into turn based combat, at least for the bow lol.
It's not like we didn't have flaming and bomb arrows before. Now it's an extra step to make them on the fly, one by one.
Flame emitter on a shield makes a nice flame thrower though. Sets half the field on fire just to light a camp fire :)

There are literally dozens of different plants and other items with different unique properties that you can fuse to arrows and weapons and shields. It's not just elemental arrows and bomb arrows.

You don't need to use a flamethrower to light up a campfire. There are a whole bunch of other ways, several of which were already in BotW. And you don't need to fuse it to a shield for that either.

But you're still in the tutorial, so you wouldn't know.

I literally just press up on the d-pad and the last used item like for example the flame fruit gets instantly fused to my arrow. It can be very fast when using the same item repeatedly. Nothing takes forever there and there are several ways to sort the items to find things faster. I don't get why some people think that it slows down combat significantly because it barely does for me and even so, what other way do you propose they do it other than selling 300 different arrow types in every store?
