I still think it's a great feat to go and face the main villain on the island despite your fear and being way weaker than they are.

I mean, I would love a PU for Usopp so he'd stop being a bum, but Usopp's character was never about that.

I've watched his fight against Ms Valentine in LA, and while he got beaten badly, he saved his friends, and it was a good look on him.
I think there’s a very real chance that Oda doesn’t view Usopp’s weakness as a flaw and instead wants to capitalize on it to show that he’s a “brave warrior of the sea”

Which means he may never get a “true” powerup and become a heavy hitter like some people want him to

Because then he’d be so strong that he would never feel fear so he could never show his “bravery” and in all fairness his best moments typically involve him overcoming things through trickery or ingenuity against a stronger opponent (on paper)

So maybe Oda wants to maintain that
 
The entire crew needed to band together to defeat one Pacifista. Later, in Marineford, we see New World Pirates that are capable of destroying Pacifistas without any help (at most they have 2 or 3 dudes helping them maybe). Who's Who is far above those random WBP affiliated fodders.
Boa Hancock and WBP commanders… yeah not fucking Tobi Roppo.

But sure Post TS Robin can solo the entire pre timeskip crew

I will never forgive Oda

Not true, Katakuri was Luffy's biggest battle arguably all of post timeskip. Heck he was given more respect than the Captain in that arc. Before that he fought Cracker and was struggling. Again, you could make the comparison if this were WCI we were talking about. It just doesn't work for Wano because Luffy had moved on to bigger things.
Katakuri took over the main antagonist role from Linlin once her hunger pains happened. It’d be more like saying Luffy would have a rivalry with Perospero at that point. Oda doesn’t do that, he has Luffy go straight for the head antagonist

Bro Zoro was at 3HP at that point.
Luffy and Zoro would've taken out a pacifista each post EL. You have to consider plot in that context.

As @Sir Yasheen said, Whothefuck was wanking off pre TS Lucci on wano. There's a reason they dropped this bum so he became one of Kaido's lackeys. Hell he was only one step ahead of Hawkins or Apo.
