You're not wrong in general, though characters are still somewhat specialized through their equipment draw. Some characters are still much better at Magic than others through the fact that their Magic stat is naturally higher and they also tend to have more Magic-boosting equipment, most notably Terra, Celes, and Relm. Other characters have unique weapons like Locke with the ValiantKnife and Setzer with Fixed Dice, which gives them great offensive options that don't rely on Magic. Depending on how you set them up, Edgar and Mog can be either good mages or strong Dragoons while having high defenses. Gau is entirely unique. Really, the only ones that are pretty shafted are Cyan and Umaro.

On the other hand, I actually find Sabin pretty overrated. I agree that he kicks ass in the beginning of the game and he remains good through the middle, and he is by far the easiest character to "max out" in terms of potential once you get to the WoR. However, IMO he's not THAT good. Edgar is pretty much just as good offensively in the early to middle parts while having better equipment for the most part (save for not being able to equip Gaia Gear later on), Mog is better from the point of the game you can grab him until the Floating Continent, and even Gau outshines him so long as you bother to grab the good Rages. In the WoR, yeah, he's an absolute unit once you get Bum Rush, and I definitely keep him around for a while, but once I start getting the good equipment and weapons that unlocks the others' potentials, Sabin begins to take a backseat again, because his equipment draw sucks in comparison to nearly everyone else, and he doesn't have any variety beyond spamming Air Blade and Bum Rush.
Not that any of that matters, of course. FF6 is easy as fuck so you can use whatever and whoever lol just saying, if you want variety, Sabin ain't really it.
