Why do killer addons have negatives?

So we're gonna completely ignore the meme addons (things like more bp but chainsaw dont insta down or confetti bottles) but what about addons that increase one action but decrease another? Example: slightly increases chainsaw movement speed slightly increases charge time. No need for the negative.

Killer perks get countered by survivor perks. It's a 4v1. Things like this is why so many addons aren't used, you're hindering yourself by certain addons.

    It’s good for add ons to have really powerful effects to have downsides. The old Yakuyoke Amulet buffed Spirit’s movement speed, duration, and recovery with no downsides, which was a huge problem. There shouldn’t be add ons that are that broken without giving some kind of drawback.

    Although, I’m not saying add ons should have their downsides hinder you too much. Blight’s Adrenaline Vial does that. It’s downside of not being able to turn isn’t enough to warrant the 2 extra charges he gets.

    Oh yeah if they're super strong addons I get but most addons just are bo where near that. And tbh that blight addon is just awful even without the turn negative, if you cant do it in 5 bounces you arent getting a hit and it means you have a way longer recharge on your ability
