The problem with modifying reactions to become bonus actions is, of course, that many characters already have bonus actions that they now cannot use. Dual-wielding paladin cannot take an off-hand attack if they used a bonus action to smite.
If you, however, mean that reactions should be FREE actions during the players’s turn, we might get somewhere. Unfortunately several reaction abilities, such as counterspell, really need to be used selectively or they waste resources.
