I mean, it was told to us that people with CoC make a name for themselves and the major characters in the show already have done that, they're already the cream out of the millions of people who live in that world. But I can understand why you don't want everyone to have it from a narrative PoV. I'm just telling you why it makes sense for many people to get it in the future from a consistency/realistic PoV. I get you your point tho.
I also understood why it made sense without anyone explaining it to me, and yet, that doesn’t change my opinion one bit. It’s basic fucking economics - if the supply outstrips the demand, you’re not gonna sell shit to your consumer base. I’m also not saying NOBODY needs CoC or AdCoC; obviously, the Yonko and admirals all make sense, and Luffy/Zoro do as well. What the fuck does Kid need it for, though? What about Sengoku? Hancock’s DF literally turns people to stone, why would she need to then knock them out on top of it? Oda’s already given it to more characters than he knows what to do with, how is it MORE exciting for random characters to possess a godly ability like that?
I think Oda gave him CoC to portray his and Luffy's rivalry. Though he has indeed left him out in the feats section.
I personally think he gave Sengoku CoC to show that Marines and especially Fleet Admirals can have CoC so that when Akainu gets it, it doesn't feel out of the blue for a marine to show it.
But as I said, I do get your point but I think there's a reason most people who have been given it have it in the first place, many, whose reasons we probably don't know of and will get in the future maybe. I doubt Oda would randomly give people CoC unless he thinks they fit the criteria or fulfill a narrative.

Again, these are good points that just don’t seem to amount to anything. Kid was Luffy’s rival in name only pre-Wano, and we still haven’t actually seen him OR Sengoku use CoC, we’re just supposed to be satisfied with the knowledge that they have it. Akainu or any other active admirals who are likely to defend the WG in the final war will absolutely show it off, but I just don’t see the use of telling us Sengoku had it when he didn’t show it at Marineford and is now retired/a complete non-factor who doesn’t need to be defeated for the story to advance. I know you’re right, there’s likely a deeper significance for the people who were chosen as conquerors…but we’re pretty late in the series and half of them haven’t done anything with CoC, which makes me think adding more users will just crowd the existing ones out entirely.
