" However, a mod can't have a legendary rarity if you can buy it. "

As mentioned, from how mod rarity works ingame terms like "Legendary", "Rare", "Uncommon" etc. Only ever refers to the card's class and not its actual acquisition rarity. These Primed mods are Legendary because their fusion requirement is much higher than that of rare cards, they share the same card style, and because their acquisition method is unique. Just because they're not super-exclusive like the Legendary Core doesn't mean they're not Legendary class mods. Even then, these Primed mods are not stuff you can buy everyday, they only come around at intervals which we are not entirely privy to: the possibility that we'd only see these mods on sale again a year from now is there.

To further illustrate the point, Shield Flux is a Common mod, and yet it's a rarely seen card due to the relative luck and expense required to get it via transmutation - you'll likely spend more credits trying to get Shield Flux than you will a Primed Continuity, yet I don't think you're going to argue that Shield Flux is a "Legendary" mod.
