I say this absolutely unironically: when you really look into the "rifle vs. assault rifle" binary, you realize it's actually a spectrum. It's practically impossible to decide if something is or isn't an assault rifle, so why do you impose your binary on my rifles?https://twitter.com/wahlstedt007/status/1451113735452569601 …

Not really. There are many variants of the AR-15 meant to comply with assault rifle regulations, & some are actually very good -- you can actually win competitions with CA-legal AR-15s! But it's all after-the-fact conforming to the letter of the law, & not a larger plan.

The TDP is available to anyone who wants it. It's a simple, proven design with few moving parts. High parts commonality, cheap magazines, good ergonomics, yada yada. Even other nations are now adopting AR-15 derived rifles.

It's more … "de facto" vs. "de jure" "base model for rifles of all kinds". The AR platform, AK platform and Remington 700 platform (along with a couple of others) cover much of what one might want; modern AR variants cover a /lot/ of use-cases.

Many new rifles now share the basic MSR/"assault weapon" design that the AR-15 exemplifies but this is largely because it's just objectively a very good design
