Unlike pre-timeskip and some part of post-timeskip Oda always had plot getting Zoro away from Main Villains.
At Punk Hazard, I don't even remember Zoro looking into Caesar's face.
Dressrosa Oda had Fujitora(a fucking Admiral) clashing with Zoro to save Doflamingo from him.
Zou Oda used Jack to hype Zunesha.
WCI would be so difficult to do something like that so Oda just removed Zoro from this arc.
Wano Oda came with the idea of a nerf sword called Enma. After Enma stopped to be a nerf(or at least nerf Zoro less) he had to "kill" Zoro.
Imagine how much clean victories Strawhats would have if Zoro faced Caesar early one(one shot potential). If Fujitora didn't interferee when he was after Doflamingo(easily cutting his strings that weren't from the plot cage, awakening included). Jack instead of attacking Zunesha went straight up to city and found Zoro first. Zoro helping Luffy to save Sanji(nope, he wouldn't have fought Sanji for beating Luffy but Sanji wouldn't come back to crew without at least an apoligy), if he tanked Hakai at Wano he would also tanked Spear of Elbaf at WCI and no Mochi or Biscuit would handle his cuts.
Imagine Zoro using his best sword without being nerfed to regulate his haki so he doesn't ran out of stamina quickly. Imagine Zoro facing Kaido again after unlocking CoC coating. Imagine Tatsumaki again with CoC Coating. Imagine Zoro hitting Flying Dragon. Imagine Asura without 30 broken bones(or a better attack since I hate this shit called Asura).
Oda has always nerfed Zoro so Luffy could shiny.
