Time to re-post this reply then: The other hand is due to spaghetti code from D1, the issue is that if they DIDNT, there's a chance that you'd legitimately LOSE YOUR WEAPONS if something hiccuped at the wrong point in a transition.

Consider this [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2jzeox/missing_vault_items/]thread from 2015[/url] which has another similar post linked in comments. And there's also [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/4eb191/dear_bungie_can_i_stay_in_my_menu_please/?ref=search_posts]another thread from 2015[/url] with comments about that happening in Y1 D1 stating why it was done [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3sdu6m/items_sent_to_the_postmaster_can_be_permanently/]This post[/url] also links to a Bungie Help article that no longer exists about items being lost from Nov 11, 2015.
