As there really is no heat management like there was in SB and auto-crossbow was to give a reason to use hypercharge in aoe situations.
I agree with you, but there is already a pointless factor to Hyperdrive. All single target weaponskills get +20 potency while Hyperdrive is in effect, despite the fact that you only ever use Heat Blast or Autocrossbow during it. To me this gives the impression that they originally intended for it to give all weaponskills a 1.5s recast, but somewhere along the way they decided to repurpose it for Heat Blast instead. It feels like an afterthought.
