This is all true.
However, I find the "goal" aspect of lifting is one of the things that keeps me motivated to keep lifting. Hard to set a goal on chest flies and not internally feel like a tool
One thing I forgot to mention was look at how or even IF you're packing your shoulders on incline. Since you can bench a lot more in other variations, it could be that you're just not giving yourself a stable platform to bench off of on the incline.
