Gauntlet is fun , you should adapt not the game. I've alrdy got 125 rounds steam achievement and all in game gauntlet related challenges , don't see a problem weekly being a Gauntlet quest.
Also no one is forcing you to them , they give nothing but BR progression which can be grinded by just playing other mods. I don't see a reason why would this change.
The reason is because Redsec is a separate free-to-play game that is available in the Battlefield menus, and uses Battlefield assets. The people who paid money for Battlefield, should be able to play Battlefield and progress the weekly challenges and battle pass.
Currently the weeklies are trying to "encourage" Battlefield players to play Redsec by holding the weekly/battle pass progression hostage. Normally to progress a battle pass, you'd have to play Battlefield, but now it requires a different free-to-play addon.
Edit: Glad you're enjoying Gauntlet though, that's awesome!
