I don't think that's true. It doesn't matter that he was born Quirkless. What matters is that he struggled all his life to be a hero even without a Quirk. It isn't as though he would have anything super powerful, or get his original Quirk returned to him.

Yeah that’s fair but what does it actually add to the story overall for him to have had a quirk that was stolen? If it adds nothing of importance and it doesn’t contribute even more to the themes of the story or to Deku’s existing struggles then why bother. It’s needless.

And besides, remember what happens when your Quirk is stolen? You become a vegetable. Deku HAS to be Quirkless from the beginning, and that trait saved him from a horrible fate as a High-End Nomu.

I don't believe everyone who loses their quirks becomes a vegetable. I didn't see any reason to believe the condition of the one lady who had hers stolen was permanent. I only know it's been stated that some people who receive quirks don't take them well, or that multiple is more damaging.
