That's exactly the very reason why they have to "nerf" Saber, considering it would just be ridiculous to have her around without winning the war if she is that powerful.
However convulated the reason why she is gimped may be, the situation isn't farfetched, and actually gives more edge to strategy and tactics, instead a plain firepower.
Otherwise, we are just back again to fights being straightforward and exempt of subtle course of actions, the likes which Zero really shouldn't have in contrast to SN.
Hell, if you question Saber's state, then we should all question why Gil didn't win the war yet, by the very same logic.
