Well, let me phrase it this way: it's puts the balance in the hands of the player as opposed to having the game hold your hand all the way. It forces you to be a responsible shooter. Managing the bloom is what will set the new player apart from the experienced player. If you just make it shoot slower, then there is no gap at all.

Also, I've been firing it about as fast as I can, and I have yet to see my shot not go where I was pointing. To be honest, it feels like the bloom is there to look fancy but does nothing to the performance of my gun.
