That's true, but that's on purpose. Warlocks have lots of at-will power, and options for extra at-will abilities from their Invocations and Short Rest spell slot recovery. Those are things that other casters don't get.
They are not utility casters by default. They make relatively poor utility casters because they have fewer options than a Wizard, Cleric or Druid.
If your player wants to be an Intelligence based utility caster with low Charisma and lots of different spell options, they might want to reconsider the Wizard class.
