Exotics are designed to be slightly overpowered. If you can only have one equipped at a time, then the overpowering effect is still limited. But if you wielded multiple exotics, the overpowering effects combine to make a pretty overpowered character. You'd be pretty overpowered in PvP if you had three exotic weapons vs. someone who had three legendary weapons. Imagine someone with SUROS Regime, Plan C, and Gjallarhorn vs. someone who had two or three legendary weapons equipped. That's pretty powerful. And with armor, it's even worse. Just imagine how overpowered you'd be if you had a character fully-equipped in all exotic weapons and armor.
