Thor getting nerfed was also neccessary for the storyline.
Thor without out one of his OP weapons was able to beat Hulk in Ragnarok. Thor + Stormbreaker almost beat Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet in Infinity War.
Thor + Stormbreaker + Mjolnir would have easily beat Thanos sans Infinity Stones in End Game - so they made the decision they needed him to be nerfed/fat (which also was a pretty fun part of the movie).
And the whole reason they brought Mjolnir back was so Captain America could pick it up - which was complete fan service but also 100% amazing.
Still don't understand the complaints about Captain Marvel - she's a pretty accurate representation of what she's been in the comics since 2012 and as Binary before that. She was in Infinity War for a combined total of 8 minutes and didn't really play a "huge" role in the end result in the big scheme of things.
Much like Thor when the time comes that she needs to be nerfed they will figure out a way to do so that fits in the MCU and in the storyline.
