In the past few months my favourite game is Savage Worlds.

I've played a couple of sessions but I've run a good few more.

Am I way off here:

The starting attributes seem too low to me.

Is it that having a d4 in something isn't a big deal?

To me it's like having a 1 on a 1-5 scale which seems bad.

Friendly discussion only in responses please. Not looking for a fight online about my favourite RPG, I'd just like some opinions.

The starting attributes aren't that important though? One is more interested in starting _skills_ which are softcapped by attribute as they cost more to increase.

Edges are the most important thing in the game.

Then skills.

Then attributes.

And with the skills, arguably a D6 is a wasted skill point. D4 or D8 because you're already rolling D6s for everything. It helps but it's better to have another skill avoiding -2 or get the D8 probability.
