China is getting wings

Actually I'm comparing something that's debatable to something that's unpredictable. Lore is easily molded to fit whatever comes to the creator's mind. If Ice Heart can change into Shiva for some reason without using Crystals, and it never makes sense, Primal summons come from the determination of the summoner. In otherwords, It will never make sense till the story makes it make sense. And yes, I do pay attention to the story, which is why its pointless to even bother thinking, "Oh this doesn't match up with the lore of the game!" because if it never made sense before, the excuse would be aether. Aether flow, change of hair color, becoming blind using the power of the aether.....what? So honestly you can't say jack about what can't or can be entered in the story. For all we know, forms of Angels and Demons exist in some other world of light that was destroyed and traverse to our world to survive. Full of shet you say? Play the story up till now. I wouldn't doubt it.

Edit: Just watched the "The First Flight of the Excelsior" cutscene (4th cutscene) where IceHeart used an Ice Crystal (Hydaeln's) to transform as well. Woops. (though my next point still counts)

As for the detriments of the planet (and this is a spoiler)

Hydaeln went to the Warriors of Darknesses world to take back the Light that destroyed their world, using the former Warrior's light strength to use Minfilia as an emissary to watch over our world.

In that respect, we can say that by using primals we can prevent the over abundance of light if used accordingly. So yeah, massive elephant compared to your apples, but you get the point. Its not so crazy as for the events we get in the game now. The only reason as to why people don't want the primals as transformations for us is because they hate the dramatic change of what the Player is allowed to do. Be scared all you want. Making up excuses for why a simple cosmetic or a new found ability (thats blatently similar to pomours from Deep Dungeon most likely) is against the lore is flat out ridicoulous.

I can be condescending, closed minded, and dismissive too

Indeed you can. At least I can tell the difference between close-mindedness and optimism.
