You make it sound like 20% difference in damage output is a small thing.

It is not.

How much more Assault do you need for a 20% boost once you have 9*16% = 144% Assault? Because you need to include base, the answer is you need to reach 205% Assault. Which you cannot reach even if you FLB'd ALL of those nine weapons, as 9*21% = 189% Assault. The only way it can be done is if you got TWO double Assault weapons in those nine FLBs.

So yeah, 20% is by no means a joke. It's a vast and huge bridge that one simply cannot cross.
EDIT: Oh hey, I just realized I calculated what it takes to drop 20% damage, not what it takes to increase by 20%. The actual number is ~193%. The point still stands though, you need ONE double Assault out of 9 FLBs to reach that gain!

Eeeeexcept that you're looking at it wrong. EVERYONE gets a good Grid, it simply takes a long, long time. Even longer if you started later in the game because fuck you, you don't deserve double FLB weapons from early Advents. Or good weapons at all from Union events now. Nonetheless, eventually, EVENTUALLY you will get a good Grid.

But eventually? Eventually, you are NOT guaranteed to find a P2W Eidolon. Ever. Are you likely to, if you play the game for many years? Yes. Are you guaranteed to get one? Not by a long shot.
And sure, DMM lately sold the old ones (the ones with the way shittier on-use (except Hraes) and notably less %), but it's a whopping 100 bucks. That's not something everyone can drop on a game.
