1% or less drop rates and how they hurt the game

There is no way to progress in the main story if you don't do quests hence no rng in main scenario and is non optional.

If nightmare mount does not drop after your 1000th attempt, you do not lose your riding skill. Nightmare is not the only mount in the game as you still have your chocobo. Same for exclusive minions like baby opo opo. These are mere embellishments to your character that does not impede progress in whatever you are trying to achieve.

Atmas are also optional because there are Levi weapons and weathered weapons as options. If you do not do second coil there is no need for them. If you do second coil guess what, you now have more options. This is a tried and tested method that works for every mmo out there and I don't really know how to make myself any clearer.

I don't really know how to make myself any clearer.

Except all of your examples are completely different from my points:
A) There's story behind Relic
B) The weapons are extremely powerful
C) They are progress
And to respond to your irrelevant points:
1) I never mentioned "losing" anything. Not obtaining Atma doesn't make you Lose your other weapons. Point invalid
2) Dungeon drop Minions/Mounts do not progress your character and have no story. Point invalid
3) Levi/Soldiery weapons are inferior to Novus weapons and sometimes severely inferior, points to Sch. Point invalid
4) Even if you don't do Coil that does not exclude you from "needing" to make your character stronger. Getting stronger is 90% of an MMORPG. Point invalid

To parrot your words "I don't know how to make myself any clearer"
