And yet there kind of is counterplay to everything.

"windwall blocks everything!" While I can agree to its level of strength being almost on par with an ult let us note something profound. you can just walk around it or through it. I know it sounds crazy but throwing all your damage directly at the wall is generally not the way to fight yasuo. it might have a low CD but its not infinitely long. You could always just play around it. Wait for him to use it then go in. You know kind of like you are supposed to play around your enemies CD when they use a spell. As yasuo I have found a number of ranged champions would just walk to an angle and attack me from it.

"his dash lets you dash to infinity!" I mean its limited by the number of enemies around. If you dont want to bring a lot of strong CC or exhaust you could just use a duelist like jax. Never actually faced a jax or fiora as yas in top lane but i mean they have a decent shot at shutting him down. Especially if yas doesnt have his 3rd Q.

"Ult can be used off of any spell!" I mean what ult cant? if you use a malphite ult with oriana ball on him she can combo her ult off of it. That his ult is on a short CD is to prevent people from building a lot of CDR on him. As squishy as he is I could easily see people just going full CDR blues on him if it was longer since there's no way he is going to really get that tanky. And while maybe reducing how his ult does damage is a good idea ultimately even for how long the armor penetration lasts its not like it makes him that much more powerful without team assistance. Im not gonna say yasuo isnt in a somewhat broken state. But I feel you are greatly overexaggerating it. I mean that by a lot. Ionux just below this even said he has the highes death rate of any champion at any level. If that doesnt mean high risk as a pick I dont know what does.
