Subject says it. Can't vault prisms, can't reset rank if inventory is full of prisms, have nothing to spend prisms on if inventory is also full of golfballs, and can't vault golfballs. Don't have anything worth masterworking that isn't already. Add to that the stupidly low storage limits on these things and it's another example of Bungo treating player QOL like crap.
And add to that the inability to dismantle a brick at a time of Mod Components, which can be vaulted but are pretty much worthless in large amounts. Malice or stupidity? Your call...

USE THEM. Bungie has done this so that you can't stock pile these end-game currencies, and thus destroy the incentilve to play Nightfalls and Trials from season to season. Masterwork gear....and if its something you dont' want, you'll get PART of the resources back when you dismantle them. But Bungie isn't going to let you amass huge stores of them....and its better than either being stymied or losing them because you've left them sitting unused in your Postmaster,
