But still a good spread, and I suppose it’s not surprising that the CHA based characters are edging it. Or that druids are lagging with two possible druid companions.

I think the companions' canon classes play a role. Bards really slot well into the mix with their classes, and since they are so versatile they work with most party compositions.

Bard is a poor choice of class for the main character, since the inspiration feature does not work on self. Since in every dialogue our MC gets dragged into the conversation, the civil application of bardic inspiration becomes unavailable.

I honestly didn't need that so far for my bards. I seldom botched a conversation skill. Plus, if you are sword bard, you need your inspiration for those sweet flourishes. I have to literally restrain myself from playing bard every single time.
