You might just be done. Back before games as a service people used to finish games all the time.
A lot of people will take breaks, sometimes for a year or longer, and come back when there's new content or they've just got the itch.
Grinding out cosmetics and making your orbiter/dormizone/dojo/warframe look cool is the end-game.
For weapons i find a lot of how bad I find certain guns depend on my mindstate. For years my favorite weapon has been and still is the Braton prime (not a big fan of the incarnon mode on it so I just use the base version the vast majority of the time). Was it a good gun to take into steel path before its incarnon, not really. That is part of the charm however, nuking entire rooms with aoe is fun, but sometime I want just me and grandpa Braton to shoot Grineer in the face one at a time like the old days. If anything I find I enjoy it slightly less now that the incarnon is buffing up the base stats. Maybe I should see how far I can push the mk1 version instead?
It sound like you're reaching burnout territory however in which case my recommendation is just take a break whenever you start playing as a obligation instead of just because it's fun. Come back either when a new update drops (in this case Kullervo is just around the corner), or you just feel like playing again.
There's a lot to do as a personal goal (personally i'm working on legend 1 and maxing out the helminth), but if you burn out from the grind getting there then that sort of ruins the point no?
Play something else for a bit, warframe will be there when you feel like doing space ninja stuff again.
Sounds like it is time to collect Incarnon Genesiseseses from Steel Path circuit.
"Every other weapon feels like a downgrade of incarnons."
Have you tried Kuva Brama? Or Kuva and Tennet weapons in general? Or Stropha? Have you maxed out Duviri Intrinsics? Railjack intrinsics? Have you framed Teshin armor for Operator from Steel Path? Do you have all Galvanized mods from Arbitrations?
IDK im a completionist myself, but im at MR20 and havent done half the stuff you have, seems like you went a little too fast imo
The bad part about playing wf now is the crazy power creep. Once you get those meta incarnons, everything else feels lackluster. As someone who has done it all on Switch and re-grinding on PS5 the best advice I can give you is to play the game based on what you like to do best. For me, I riven trade alot so I tend to farm SE/slivers and do the weekly archons.
Ya ive been buying fully leveled rivens for ununsed weapons and having fun that way, people will sell rank 8 rivens for like 20 plat fairly often, picked up an astilla prime riven rolled multi, status and an element on it and itll work just fine. That said if i use my boltor i can tear through an acolyte before it can even blink.
