Momo is definitely “why is this character even in the story” tier useless, which makes it pretty weird that the manga still talks her up.

I think it's just because really good shounen battles involving "create anything" powers are actually really hard to write without either being gimmicky or just trivializing the fight.

The fact that here's several times in MHA where we've seen characters with really powerful quirks sidelined because they would have made a particular arc trivial makes me think Horikoshi's just not suited for writing Jojo-style "use weird powers in crazy ways" fights. MHA has always been at its best when it's focused on more conventional superheroics, whether playing a long with it or putting a twist on it.
