Unfortunately they created a very unstaggered and uneven ecosystem. Players who do GMs have literally been SWIMMING in AS meanwhile those who either don't enjoy NFs - remembering these are only glorified Strikes not some premium content as they're spun to be - or -blam!- on doing the hardest available matchmade activities have little to none. It's far too steep a discrepancy.
It's the same with droprates for NF weapons: 100% guaranteed droprates Adept versions Vs non-Adept barely dropping (probably around 10% for a single drop).
It'll also be the same for the new Ascendant currency for upgrading enhanced perks. It barely drops for matchmaking - again probably ~10% yet for those with a few premade teams these too will be almost guaranteed.
It's close to an everything (and then they complain as to wanting more rewards) or nothing ecosystem. The debates are typically myopic to this however because it isn't a problem for certain players therefore in their minds it isn't a fundamental problem - they genuinely can't see past their noses. And of course with ever increasing numbers of mods and a whole range of harder content as well as PvP you absolutely can well use those 10 little energy slots - don't be fooled by the 'yOu DoNt nE3d MoR3' - thinking is hard after all I guess.
But this indeed is the problem of companies following, changing and and catering the game to an UNREPRESENTATIVE small group of Streamer-YouTubers.
