not long ago ( some short time after the release of 4.84 ) - people complained about the uselessness of missiles and any attack on the bombers ability to fight back was countered with a "but its all for the good of anti-capital-ship-spam".
now - its the bad missiles that hurt gameplay ( missiles that were considered to be useless ) - and the overpowered bombers that ruin the day.
thats how things and tactics evolve.
Yep.. if you search for threads from around January-February you find tons of people complaining how missiles on discovery are completely useless.
