Weapon Crafting isn't a failsafe for bad RNG because weapon crafting has worse RNG than world drop weapons.
It's not good for casual players, it sucks for hard-core players.
It requires a very specific - mind numbing - grind to acquire & level each weapon.
It has de-valued loot drops from high end activities along with all world drops
It has made raid loot / adapt weapons obsolete & thus made re-playing raids only about red borders.
It jams up storage space with red border weapons for dismantle.
It has now become a core parts of the game rather than an addition by adding level & crafting tied to seasonal progression.
Again, It has become a core part of the game over things like core play list content - crafting isn't content.
I'm currently season rank 200 & banged my head attempting to get these deep sights & have only got the "guaranteed drop sources" deep sights the entire season. Weapon crafting is ruining Destiny & I don't know if it a) can be fix b) be reverted after injecting it into the game. Either way - Weapon crafting has been a Hugh L & not healthy for the game at all.

Here's your L. Weapon crafting has only improved the game.
