Paladins, arcane tricksters and eldritch knights are not melee spellcasters , they are warriors(rogues) with spells. Valor bard and war domain cleric can't be full fronliner and pact of the blade warlock makes you very MAD(multiple attributes dependent), so you have to pick additional feats, increase dexterity, rather than charisma, and in result it makes your blade an addition to your eldritch blast, rather than a full focus

And I didn't understand your logic about providing more options = less variable builds, it's strange
