Why craft anything when you can get bestlevel items from multiplayer to singleplayer via the APEX Pathfinder reward boxes.
Ehh, probably because not everybody plays multi-player.
You do make a fair point though. Crafting doesn't really yield much better weaponry, at least not a noticeable difference from what I can tell. I think the itemization in this game really needs help.

Oh Augs are powerful... Eg if you add a seeking plasma onto your weapon, it becomes more or less like a heat seeking missile, rarely misses... I normally add this to my shotguns... And if you add augs like the bio converter, your weapon doesnt need to reload and have unlimited ammo(will drain your health though), I use this for my sniper rifle(imagine an isharay doing 1.4k damage auto firing without reloading)... Plenty of other augs that I have not experimented on, you can have a look and see what suits your play style.
You cerainly don´t need any 4modslot weapons for Hardcore playthru, cba to even play insanity, would just be mindless repetition and grind for items :d
I much rather use my Sandstorm VII than my crafted N7 Valkyrie IX (with beam emitters, another one with sticky grenade mod...and ofc on top of those the ´normal´´ mods for shields ammo and whatnot. In multiplayer i just pretty much use N7 Piranha or N7 Valiant with any char, those are the best for me.
After starting NG+ with HC pretty cba´d to craft anything anymore and just went with what i found. Oh i used up all the 4k research points i had for Remnant and Heleus * and crafted stuff but it´s just for the heck of it.
Only useable craft is the Heleus Icon Armor.
Anyone with the Pathfinder weapons should stick a Double Mod Slot and Vintage Heat Sink on the SMG. Grab Heavy Lifting from Combat Fitness, Clip Mag Size from Pistols and then put a Scope, Barrel, Magazine and Receiver on it.
You now have a gun with 80+ (continues to grow as you get better magazine mods) rounds per mag, unlimited ammunition and enough damage to quite literally hold down M1 and kill whole groups of enemies before running out of ammo on Normal, or two or three on Hardcore.
