I have spent 2 years trying to loot minions from the current expansion dungeons and have probably run them hundreds of times by now and didn't get most of the earlier ones. I don't want to just buy them but I have given up.

At endgame, dungeon loot doesn't matter for stats because you can get much better gear very easily. For raid loot you get tokens so that you can buy the gear if your RNG is not good and if you do loot it, it transforms into a piece of gear for the class of your choosing. So it is handled a lot better in other areas of the game, just not in dungeons.
