There's variance on bomb heaviness for sure. It's not there's any set with no bombs, but some sets give you better tools to deal with them or even keep the bomb count low enough that you can still remain relatively competitive without them. Amonkhet Remastered and Theros Beyond Death were both sets that I regularly went positive on with no rares at all. Sure, TBD has some pretty gross bombs like Kiora Bests the Sea God and Dream Trawler, but most of the rares are pretty fair cards like Eat to Extinction or The Akroan War.

I don't mind taking a loss to the one-off Dream Trawler, I do mind when every other person you play opened bomb rares and you just can't win. Almost every game I lost, the opponent had some rare that just took over the game. If there was more quality removal that might help, if there were fewer ways to get your bomb rares back that might also help. As it is, though, so many rares can just get out of hand because the format is built to allow it.
