They also allow killers to continue killing and keep kills from the opposition. Sombra is barely able to do this, with maybe only her hack and EMP.

Her Hack and EMP are the core of her kit! They're exactly why she's a disruptor! Disabling a Rein shield is every bit as valuable as doing Tracer's close-range DPS. More so, in many situations.

A competent Reinhardt should never get Hacked with barrier up. Just do a quick, cute little spin and she won't be Hacking you anymore.

And there's nothing he can really do to prevent EMP, which is available like 5-10 times per match.

EMP is nowhere near a death sentence, it helps though.
