I feel like this concept is just another idea that lowers the skill cap. Knowing what weapon you are going to use in a situation is something that you learn to do and adds strategy to the game. That concept is used in shadows stones for the same reason. When using one you can’t switch throughout your inventory as if you were able to you could have mobility and be prepared for any situation.

Also it doesn’t make sense on a visual sense, there wouldn’t be an animation for switching if you were gliding. (Kinda petty of a point but never the less a reason)

TL:DR: this is part of the game and instead of suggesting to make it easier realize it is a risk/reward system when you are using a mobility item.
