Or are tied to a specific fighting style like GWM, PM, Shield Master, etc. And you aren't precluded from Shoving like Shield Master, in fact you get the same number of attack and the same shove as part of your attack action, you just don't have the Dueling(If they even took it) Damage bonus, in fact it is better, as it doesn't require you to attack first.

    The question was more in regards to a Fighter, when you open up all the options of the other classes, sure. But, using your Bonus action for an additional attack is a viable Strategy and does not preclude most of those occasional or once of bonus actions.
    You can use the Hand crossbow bonus action attack every round, as long as you're holding a hand crossbow in one hand and nothing in the other - see here (Crossbow Expert, third question).

    Also, several of the BM manoeuvres use bonus actions, though admittedly not the best ones.
