How can such horrid primal drop rates even exist?

I mean they cant make them too easy then it would be less exciting when you actually get something.

My problem is not the difficulty, despite what many seem to think. In fact, I believe Ifrit and Moogle are more easy than they should be. But, honestly, where is the difficulty on completing the same content ad infinitum? If you've cleared Ifrit 20 times, you're also going to clear him 200 times. The difficulty never increases. No, my main problem is that, even after those 200 times, you're not guaranteed anything for your dedication.
