You know the drill, video or it didnt happen..
i can also claim i have soloed the pope and i would have difficulties to prove this.
but then again.

you are doing the same logical fallacy that everyone else of the "gitgudders"
does.. on youtube you can find ONE video .. you can find more deep freediver videos.. is this the justification to put the only viable content that is desireable for you in a deep of "just 120 meters" just because "someone did it" ? no of course not.. not everyone has the possibilities, abilities, resources, or simply time to tick all those boxes..
is this advertising for spitting the gun to your feet? NO of course not.. it shoudl not be like the lumina quest where Xol farts the gun after a 200 Lightlevel run into your inventory with queststeps that every normal player would absolve eventually anyway just by playing the game..
it called balancing for a reason.. is this "Oh you complain no matter what?"
nope that "shattered throne" is great .. menagerie was great .. heroic mangerie was great. normal versus heroic versions of the raid is great.. getting exotics based on heroic clears on raids was GREAT.. so basically bungie knows how to strike the right balance between toooooo casual and tooo super hardcore.. just by having two different settings..
so calling for a handout is silly and noone asks for this and demanding the super hardcore way to get even to the basics of rewards is as silly and stupid .. we need BOTH ways.. regular and heroic or else one group will always be left out.. and we need both groups to pay for the game because just one group will not be enough to keep it alive..
TL:DR
no handouts
no Superhardcore settings
one difficult but doable solo on regular
and
one very difficult on heroic.
