While I see your point and appreciate your snark at its value, well.. You're talking about game development, whereas we're mostly complaining about fine-tuning of internal stats. Truly, what this game (or to be realistic, Destiny II) needs is an opt-in Public Test Server to push experimental builds into a live environment. It would allow them to iterate more rapidly, receive feedback in a more precise and swift manner, then tweak slightly and redeploy. Repeat ad nauseam until a satisfactory result is achieved, then proceed to push the patch live to the main game world. The barrier to that as of now is that a PTS would get bogged to the point of nigh-pointlessness instantly when you account for having to cert the patches to Microsoft and Sony. But if Destiny II releases on PC, it suddenly becomes a very real option.
