Although true Nintendo has a massive bank account from past eras, and H5 is funded by MS, Bungie has still acquired almost a billion from base game sales alone in a single year while the entire budget for everything in the next 10 years was $.5 billion. They should easily have the resources to expand the development team or hold off of Destiny 2 to fix Destiny 1. They have the time, they have the money, they have the playerbase, they have the reputation, and they are backed by Activision.
It's just that tracking your records should in the feature for everyone any racing game does it, and it's a pretty simple feature, it shouldn't cost 1/4 the cost of the TTK even if some parts of the fanbase are willing to pay for it especially since it tracks records, gives 1 sparrow, and one set of armour. At the cost of $10 you would expect an entire raid considering TTK's cost. With the amount they get from this they just have to have enough money to surely give us something better, some fixes first, and maybe some updated strikes surely?

About the money Bungie made from its halo franchise, it was huge...but you don't how it was spent. For all we know they could have had large failed projects, undisclosed lawsuits or bad investments, not everything is transparent until you're publicly trading under Activision. But for Bungie requiring a 500mil bankroll from Activision and prior sale of a franchise, you could make a fair assumption that they weren't working with the large capital they made off Halo. As much as I'm happy with my racebook purchase, yes I agree that something of trivial tracking yet great importance to SRL should have been made available to everyone for free, the sparrows served enough of the added microtransactions.
