Since the addition of the boons into Eververse, I have taken mental notes, not a single exotic reward has been given out (with the exception of Ornaments).
As someone who does not find any utility from having an Exotic Ship or Sparrow, I regularly exchanged them for bright dust.
This in turn I would spend on content that was in Eververse, be it the armor set piece of the week for each character, or an ornament I wanted.
I was on the lookout immediately after the boons became available, to see what sort of sneaky thing was added to the game, alongside the boons. I thought to myself, "There is no way Bungie is going to allow for boons to be affordable", and I was correct.
The fact that there are now more Legendary shaders that do not dismantle into bright dust, and there is no way to be sure where you got them from, trying to get that last few bright dust you need before Reset, will both rob you of that opportunity, and turn that shader into 1 legendary shard... Yes, 1 shard.
So back to the Exotics thing. Unless you dismantle everything you can get from Eververse from your bright engrams, and then buy a boon, and get extremely lucky for it to give out an exotic gift, you must spend CASH, to get a chance at an exotic ship, or emote, or sparrow.
With this being the ONLY content that most players do NOT have right now, there is no point in playing the game once you have cashed in your WELL RESTED bonus.
That means people are going to play the game, just long enough to get 9 Level ups (which is a few hours) across 3 characters, and then be done with the game for the week, if they are looking for a reward that is locked behind a TRIPLE stacked ODDS.
Add in the fact that you can get an emote or an ornament, instead of a ghost or sparrow or ship, and you get something that you cannot dismantle for Bright Dust. So effectively, you can end up with LESS than 270 bright dust, from leveling up 9 times, and that is only if you dismantle the 27 shaders, and they give you 10 bright dust each.
What can you get for 270 bright dust? Shaders... Fireteam Medallions... yeah, that's pretty much it.
So, Bungie, if you thought you got away with this one too, and that people wouldn't realize why they are not enjoying the game, I can tell you for sure, you didn't get it past me.
I can tell you that doing this, is like making the cutting blade on a Saran Wrap box dull, so that the people using your product, ruin a higher percentage of it, and have to buy more sooner.
It is a shady practice, and not everyone will realize it, but when one person does, you better be damn sure, that you have an answer, and an apology ready.
So, Start Apoligizing... And answering.
