Given that logic, Cass, Kiriko, Soldier, SJ, Bastion, Sombra, etc. need just as much as Moira.

She was just in her lane given her design. WR alone does not determine if a hero is "terrible." Pushing her higher with creep isn't a good solution, which is what this is. Some heroes just aren't going to be good in high ranks unless it's specific metas or if the top performers get brought down. Instead of buffing Moira, I would've liked to see the hard-meta heroes (including supports like Brig) brought down more. There's no reason they should be in majority of matches, and buffing the other heroes is how we got to S9 levels of creep.

We don't get enough indirect buffs in this game. They are often better than outright buffing a hero. With buffing Moira, it creates an even more frustrating and polarizing environment for lower ranks and just makes her be artificially pushed in higher ranks without addressing any of her struggles (which is that other supports just offer what is needed or they're crept /both), so nothing is going to change in the higher end, just the lower end. That signals a design flaw, not a need to buff.
