It would be fine if all we wanted is the weapon, since we can just get it from the market (like you did). The main problem lies in the fact that it is a clan research weapon, which means there's a chance that another clan research weapon will require Hema as the requisite. If people get this weapon through the market, that means the research is not completed, then the new weapon would also become market exclusive. Continue this for long and there will be a lot of content that is gated by a cash wall, something Warframe seriously doesn't need right now. Barring someone from getting something just because they're unwilling to pay some money would scare them away, reducing the playerbase, or worse, kill the community. Do you seriously want that? Where the playerbase kept dwindling until Warframe itself is unsustainable by the developers?

Now if DE released an official statement that there will be no Clan research that would require Hema as the requisite, I'm willing to shut up and consider this weapon a bragging right reward.
