Well i dont use 5e a lot so im used to systems that have "Minor actons" and not just bonus actions.
in 4e, drinking a potion is a minor action IIRC.
The throwing of objects certainly is odd as a bonus action. i still like it because it gives you more to do, im not a fan of 5e specifically because actions like this almost always are worse than doing a full attack.
As for wish, well thats a very specific situation, wish can be used for so many thigns that its hard to realy comprehend the power of the spell
