Why does a heavy trigger on a revolver make sense but we can't handle it on a polymer gun?

Is it the weight or trigger quality?
I don't think an unusually heavy or rough DA trigger pull is particularly helpful for maximum accuracy with a revolver either. But at least with a revolver (well, most revolvers anyway) you can easily cock the hammer and use single action if so desired. Not so much on a mushy, striker-fired plastic wonder gun.

There is a good reason that most folks prefer free state models. There is also a good reason why the overwhelming majority of MA-compliant guns with nasty triggers get the Apex treatment or similar reworking/lightening of the triggers.

It should be pointed out that not all MA-compliant guns have ******, overly-heavy, often unusable triggers. S&W is uniquely and unusually bad in this regard. Others, not so much. Not sure why S&W's plastic pistols are typically worse than pistols from other manufacturers. Some think it may have something to do with S&W being located within our crazy state.
