To many exploits back then....period and most on Defense, hence the changes that were made. That is why the PWR HB Slam was used so much on Offense as it was an overpowered play and couldn't be stopped by the exploits on D. However, no matter what changes were made the good coordinators adjusted and continued to win.

Maybe I am mis-remembering but HB slam was easily stopped if you created the proper stunt and filled the gap created by the Oline spread with two power LBs. Sure, they still got 2-3 yards most of the time but it wasn't guaranteed and when it failed they got the turnover. Seemed more of a chess game, or at least it felt like it. I just remember folks complaining that HB slam was a guaranteed 4 yards but I do recall those who just spammed it wound up losing in the playoffs. My issue was always the variability, but it looks like that got addressed at some point - excessive variability was why I left.

But the idea that it is believed that there's no benefit to building some position like blitzing LBs or that some attributes are useless regardless of the dot (whether it is true or not.) - takes away from the game.

Didn't they also add the replay penalty or something similar after this since teams were spamming the play continuously? Plus I remember back then you had to pay money for EQ upgrades so everyone was scrambling to send new contracts out to fund the EQ changes to keep up with Larry Csonka

Yes, that is how Bort nerfed it, so it's not really the HHLB'ers that stopped it, but that was a different era of GLB so I will digress.
