The obsession with hard pities comes from Hoyo gachas with sub-1% rates where luck doesn't exist. The rates are so microscopically low that you're not really rolling on a gacha and relying on luck anymore, you are simply buying the character with the amount of rolls required for the guarantee. You will never get it early, you will never get it for cheap, and you also won't even get the consolation of filling up your roster with spooks, because every single character is limited. Every patch you have to log in religiously, do your dailies, and play every dogshit minigame event to gather enough currency to meet the fixed 180 roll price tag on each banner.
