Terribly balanced game mechanic. Apothics are essentially keys, and behave accordingly, but they are most likely the most obnoxious keys to farm, because of the plants not being a resource normally obtainable, unless you specifically farm them.

Specters mod farming is just as painful as Excal farm. At least during those mission you get normal rewards, while Apothics farming nets you no resources and no affinity. I suspect Apothics have been balanced exclusively around The Silver Grove quest, with no regards to the actual farming of Specters. A poor choice that has been left as is for a long time.

When will DE start refining what they've done, before adding new things?
