Ussop was doomed even before the start of Elbaph. He should of already went through some serious character development, Elbaph logically should of served as the resolution of Ussop's character arc. Instead, people want to either speed run his characterization to the point that it'd practically be a character rewrite, or just give him moments of bravery like he doesn't have enough of those just to say "at least he did something". These things just aren't enough to make Ussop's growth into becoming the Bravest Warrior of the Sea to be fulfilling, and that's a damn shame.
