I agree that there were some bold actions they didn't take because of precedent, etc. But they didn't take all of the actions they could've, like say, making it unconstitutional for a felon to run for office (seem like table stakes) and gutting the electoral college as much as possible without constitutional amendments.
If they did take every action they could, then this country's form of government is absolute crap.

A constitutional amendment needs a 2/3 vote in both the House and Senate, and then 3/4 of the states to ratify. Please do tell me how that would have been possible to achieve in 2021/22. The only value would have been the political benefit of making it a national issue, because there is zero chance it could have happened during Biden's time.
