Just look at underwater combat where nades are homing (to an extent), engineers are verging on OP.
Nade kit is just a case of player skill being rewarded. If you can manage the targeting and get the majority of your nades to land you are rewarded with arguably some on the best basic attack dmg in the game, but if you can't land them then you miss out.
Nades are fine as they are, yes they can be a bit awkward (literally have to have fast cast ground targeting on) but they are designed to be situational.
