"If those cheaters didn't get their reward, then SE would reevaluate the situation and give us non-cheaters the reward instead" is what your argument boils down to. We know from the past that this is BS, SE won't make this "easier" until they have new content to attract you with. Looking at the stats of the gear involved, it's obvious that SE intended NNI gear to be super-restricted in availability.
You pretty much only gleened what applied to your reasoning from what I said. The fact of the matter doesn't change when you have cheaters supplying inaccurate data about success rate compared to projected success rates or intended success rates. They have made adjustments after the fact on several events and are still making adjustments (this update for example altered difficulty of legion by restricting roam area of mobs creating a safe zone and the ability to re-enter zone if ejected fo all members ko). Thus I do not buy your powdered reasoning as fact given the actual fact so many have only completed their gear through illegitimate means. I can attest to the fact that reaching floor 80 is far more likely and a more timely path to the gear, but reaching 100 is still possible giving you instantly a gear of choice and up to 3 random gears when won.
