Whether or not something is "worth is" is really subjective, and discussions on the technical aspects of these weapons can distinguish the feasible from the ones that aren't, as well as differentiate a better design vs a weaker one. Making a weapon "logical" doesn't really require "hundreds of pages of weapon expertise", especially since theoretical discussion can only get you so far in creating a good, solid design, though it is sufficient in determining obvious problems with flawed ones. I was not really technical in most of my responses to weapon ideas/designs either. For many of them, I simply stated a obvious flaw with the idea or design, rather than pointing out something super technical and obscure... Worth is subjective, yes. Practicality just isn't something RWBY weapons take fully into account, and you are taking it far more heavily into account in your judgements of fan-made weapons. And, you've spent thousands of words debating the magizine of a single weapon. To scale, I think that counts as over-technical, and it is most certainly off-putting to us filthy casuals.
