SL6 was built, kinda poorly and abandoned for shuttle launches
That is a load of bunk. It wasn't poorly constructed
1. Incorrect. Several audits found significant quality control issues with
the SLC-6 shuttle launch pad construction.

2. In addition, the water
suppressant system was found to be incapable of preventing major damage
during a shuttle launch and

3. the equipment would not have withstood the
extra weight of a fully loaded shuttle after the 1986-1988 SRB redesign.

All wrong and far way of base

1. This is no different than any other large project. And that is
the point of the audits. The findings were corrected later

Negative, the problems were not fixed.

2. No, this was the H2 entrapment problem and a fix was found

H2 was yet another issue with SLC-6.

3. Totally wrong, it had nothing to do with the pad supporting the
vehicle, it was due to loss of payload capacity

Both issues were factors.
