Xur sold it in the first month. Thanks for bringing a false equivalency to the conversation. Lord knows, there aren't nearly enough logical fallacies in these forums.

Xur sold it the second week on D1, and at that time nobody knew how powerful and sought after the Gjallarhorn would eventually become. The majority of players were still trying to gather Strange Coins as well. I didn’t have enough to buy it, and turns out that it took me 9 months of consistent gameplay to get my first Gjallarhorn to drop from an Iron Banner match on the night before reset. That was the most intense grind I’ve ever experienced in this game. The current exotic drop rates haven’t hit that level yet.

Your story is identical to mine. However, Xur DID sell it. Suros too, and others. There were also a few more exotic quests for must-haves like Bad Juju and Thorn. We are now at a place where many people feel the drop rate now is as bad or worse, and Xur is practically useless. Comparing current exotic availability to D1 is a false equivalency.
