I agree with you... the sad part though is the whole "Wolverine cannot be defeated by conventional weapons" thing. That's pretty much in a nutshell why Wolverine is fundamentally broken as a character these days. It wasn't always like that.
Until the 90s hyper-exaggeration of all the "badass" characters kicked in, Wolverine could be defeated by conventional weapons. He might not be killed, but he could be injured badly enough he could be incapacitated, or forced to withdraw and heal for a while. He wasn't a tank, he wasn't a Terminator, and he couldn't just walk through gunfire. He had to rely on his speed and skill and animalistic fighting style to be hit as little as possible in combat, and rely on his healing factor and adrenaline-fueled determination to keep him going in spite of those he couldn't avoid. And he was cooler that way. It kept his stories interesting, as he had to work for his victories even against normal criminals. Under bad writer after bad writer, he lost that and became a parody of himself.
If I were in charge, one of the first things I'd do is mandate a storyline where Wolverine's healing factor goes out of control, at first becoming cancerlike, then warping him more and more until he becomes something akin to the deformed blob of ever-growing flesh from Akira. The solution would be to hit him with Forge's neutralizer gun... which because his power is so out of control, doesn't remove his powers entirely, only reduces them. From then on, Wolverine's healing would be reset back to classic levels, and any story that exaggerates it again would be vetoed.
It's really the only way to make the character readable again.
