Steps:
The pop condition for the Poroggo Madame NM on the 5th floor of Zhalyolm Remnants I northern path is that at least 3 party members need to arrive at the floor with all Pathos unlocked. This is impossible for someone playing solo. This makes the items Enlil's Gambison, Freya's Trousers and Hikazu Gote impossible to obtain solo since this is the only NM that drops these items. As Salvage is now allowed to be entered solo I would think this content should be adjusted so players can pop the NM to obtain this armor while playing solo as well.

After discussing this further, we have decided to remove the minimum participant restriction for Nyzul Isle Investigation in the December version update!

Please note that at the moment, we will not be making battle adjustments so it will be difficult to clear solo or in low-man groups. The reason behind this is because there are some system-related aspects that will make it difficult to adjust the way lamps function for solo or low-man groups. In the future, we would like to address this with Trust NPCs and make it possible to clear even with a small group of players.

Same is probably true for Salvage. They made it TECHNICALLY soloable as a convenience but didn't DESIGN it to be soloable.

SE specifically changed that NM to need 3 people to FORCE at least 3 people to go in, since it used to be 3 people fully unlocked or all people in the zone fully unlocked. People used to fully unlock one person, have everyone log out but that one person, have that one guy go to the next floor to pop the NM, then have everyone log in and reform the party to kill it.

SE could just undo that change. However, since that "exploit" was one of the things that got people banned in the salvage bannings, and since Trust NPC's couldn't fix this, I think they're going to be adamant about this one.

Of course since all those items you mentioned are worthless, I don't see the current problem. Unless they decide to +2 salvage stuff, which they currently have no plans to do, and would be so incredibly lazy I'd just give up on the game.
