Transmutation is one of the way to get some of the extremely rare mods without the hassle of farming it directly from the enemy drop table (Rage, Crimson Dervish, Bite, and now Sovereign Outcast). It's an alternative for when people already got sick or don't want to bother of farming directly.

As for the credit cost, that's why the Transmute core from Simaris exist. Not only it removed the credit cost, but also narrow down the possible results to a specific polarity. The result pool is still big, but if you think you're lucky then why not give it a try.

Yes, dissolving mods to endo is still an option, but even the rare mods only become 15 endo each, the lowest possible endo amount to drop from enemies. 4 (or 3 if you use the transmute core) mods amounts to 60 (or 45) endo. You can get the same, or possibly more by just playing the game. So, it's not much of an endo lost.
