Because it's been so much time and it still did not drop yet... you're frustrated because you don't progress... Being forced to use already mastered phantom jobs is the same : getting frustrated because you have only that much time and in that time you cannot progress. It's the same process behind both.
I can indeed state that its not RNG itself thats the problem, its the lack of feeling progression. They could have made the atmas drop at a much higher rate like 50%+ drop rates, but also demand you to collect 10 each. And it would feel better, because you see the progress.
A streak then of 3x not getting an atma is anoying, but the 4th time giving one is instant progression again.

The abysmal drop rate, even though you didnt need a lot is just anoying to face, you dont notice progression, and even if you then get one, its more of a 'finaly' feeling, then it is, 'good'. Even if you would need a static 50 fates in each area, it shows you a good expectation.

But the 2nd issue i saw: any atma beyond what you needed is just an atma to rub it in. You cant use it, and it makes it feel like you are making the odds for the next one worse (it isnt, but the odds of a chain of 2 is just 1% if the normal droprate is 10%). Everything in this grind just feels counter productive, even though the total requirement in time spent wasnt bad at all
