Do You Want To See More Obsession Perks?
The last time we got a perk that involves the obsession for survivors was the Silent Hill chapter (chapter 16). For killers it was chains of hate, with Dead Man's Switch having been reworked to not involve the obsession. This makes Cursed Legacy (chapter 14) the most recent obsession perk to still be in the game. (Im not counting grim embrace cause the obsession thing is just an additional effect, not a main focus of the perk).
Since it's been so long since we've seen a new obsession perk, do you want to see more, or are you fine with the lack of obsession perks?

Honestly the entire Obsession mechanic feels vestigial.
1) There are no baseline mechanics associated with it other than the little entity claws telling players that the Obsession is being chased, but as of next patch that's not even going to be unique to the Obsession.
2) There are barely any Killer perks that utilize it, and with very few exceptions the majority of them are useless, or in the case of Dying Light potential even outright detrimental.
3) No Killer uses it as a base part of their Power
4) There are a grand total of -2- addons that interact with it, 1 on The Shape, 1 on Survivor.
5) Only 2 Survivor perks (Blood Pact and OoE) interacts with the mechanic in a way other than changing the obsession target or changing priority of random Obsession selection

I'm fine with the lack of obsession perks
I don't use that many Obession perks as they can sometimes be more of a hinderance than an advantage, especially if the survivors realise and use it against you.
That said, they're still in a better state than hexs...

The obsession mechanic was designed to tie into the Halloween chapter which it did well. After that however they didn’t seem to know what to do with it

Obsession perks are usually too situational on both sides, I'm not unsatisfied that they haven't made more.
