IDK how to word it, but basically whatever the 'best result' is, they feel like they deserve only that result, and therefore rather than the 'powerful moment' being just that, a moment that comes sometimes and goes just as quickly, they feel like that 'powerful moment' is the baseline the class operates at, and anything else is just 'you got screwed by the game, devs pls fix this garbage'.
When the game design shifted to balancing savage raids with optimal dps in mind, this optional "powerful moment" stopped being optional and became the moment to aim for. This was especially the case for Gordias, the very first raid after AST's introduction. With that in mind, the "just fished for balance" mentality is hardly one of entitlement/deserving nature. It's simply a reaction to a shift in design.

And considering you've mained during HW, possibly SB, I'm sure you've had moments of drawing a Spire/Bole/Ewer before/during the opener, and wishing it'd have been a Balance instead.
