I was convinced before that the writers didn't know what they were doing with the Ben 10 franchise after the original show and this is just further establishing that for me. Not like the Ben 10 franchise was already a mess by the time Omniverse ended. it's like a videogame with updates. if a character is too powerful/weak for some reason, they need to nerf/buff them so it is fair

That's a really good analogy to be honest. It's not so much making it fair as it is making sure Ben doesn't use any given alien at any opportunity, and also that the aliens have vulnerabilities that make him beatable. Alien X and The Worst are arguably the only aliens with no vulnerabilities, but their draw backs are enough to prevent Ben from choosing them in the first place
