I love the "Big Basics" but...

I'm all for pressing, chinning and squatting but I can't help thinking there are areas of [my] body that respond better to isolation movements, specifically, traps, delts and bis. Am I alone here?

basics are the foundations. A strong foundation is required to sculpt that idea physique. That said, they're only foundations. You still need to add the isolation movements to achieve the completed picture.

it's a must that you also do iso movements for delts/traps etc.

You are far from alone. Additional exercises are necessary and crucial to a healthy build. While I do the "Big 3" exercises, they don't even make up a majority of my workouts.
