Just a small input. I don't really think the intent was for them to be "bandaids" as they are not meant to fix anything. They are just an extra thing they thought would be cool for players to have. I think your "bandaid theory" is far from reality.

Let's take the example of the Legendary Core. It is something extra as a sortie reward, many players won't get them ever in their playtime, even if they play sorties every day. Should people start getting salty about this too? No, because you can get endo and credits to level up your mods with other ways.

I think people just don't realise that the intent of the Riven mods is similar to Legendary cores. That's why they have an absurd polarity drain, that's why it's all RNG based. It is not supposed to make every player get the stat augments they want on the weapon they want.
