A large portion of the infusions that artificers can create are pre-existing magic items. But a few are unique to artificers.
And while the existing system works fine for artificers who keep their own infusions, artificers are allowed to share their infusions with the party. And infusions like "arcane propulsion armor" or "boots of the winding path" or the "helm of awareness" or "repeating shot" or "repulsion shield" all require attunement to use, but they don't show up in the equipment list, making them difficult to track on the character sheets if the artificer shares them.
In other words, if the artificer gives the fighter arcane propulsion armor, the artificer can track that they've made the armor but there's no way on the D&D Beyond character sheet for the fighter to track that they have it and are attuned to it.
