Why does the game force you to make a build that 1 shots the screen?

If you don't you die. You get swarmed and you die in some 2x2m Vaal janitor room.

All the heralds help it, a lot of gems help it, chain reaction tech all over the place. It's by design.

If you say you don't, are you playing the game at all? Maybe it's because you understood it too literally? Okay look, it's not all the screen, but half of the screen one way or another, it must work off a massive detonation over a large area that takes out most of the enemies at once or you're cooked.

There are tons of people who get 97+ and even 100 with non screen clearing builds. Go look at the ssf leagues on ninja where they can't just trade for super rare giga-OP gear, it's basically full of them.

All builds megablasters there, EDC witches (purest screen clear of all) and heralds all over hahaha, way to prove the OP right lol.
