This is an entitled instant-gratification whine thread. Only coherent point that needs to be made, same point I've been making since the beginning. Funny how posters tell me I don't get to dictate how CG decide to make shards available, yet I'm not the one who made a thread doing exactly that.
I don't know, a lot of arguments for the availability of these toons have been made, and you haven't been able to produce any counter-argument.
I'd say you're the one acting entitled and whining, because everyone else just participate in the thread with constructed ideas and point of views, while you just throw around weird analogies and senseless accusations.
Honestly, I told you to actually write something regarding the 4 main reasons why these characters should be made farmable, and you haven't been able to write anything.
Here, I'll make it easier for you, here are the 4 arguments:

1) Consistency. It's important for a game to offer consistency, especially in a subject such as character farming. Pretty much all characters in the game got more available as time went on. Not those ones, for no apparent reason.
Examples of hard-nodes only characters that got added in shipments:
Rey, Resistance Trooper, Ewok Elder, Jedi Knight Anakin, Royal Guard, Dooku.
RG and Ewok Elder were also common Bronzium drops, but that didn't stop them from being added anyway, because Bronziums are random and can't be seen as a relevant farming tool.
2) It drastically reduces the possible strategies for newer players: Remember that First Order, Ewoks, Clones and Imperial Troopers can't be a complete squad without the missing hard-nodes only character(s) (though that'll change for Ewoks)
You'll probably say that they can still use them at 3 or 4*, but a new player only has room for 1 squad until later in the game, which means that they will not be able to effectively participate in Raids, which are a MAJOR aspect of the game.
3) None of these characters are special in any way. They're not important characters, and there's no reason to gate them that way. I could understand that characters like Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Anakin, Leia or Han Solo would be gated that way, because they are important characters in the Star Wars lore. Clone Sergeant isn't. Ewok Scout isn't. There's no justification behind their non-availability.
4) Hard-nodes only farming isn't rewarding or satisfying. As I explained previously, you don't have to actually do something (reach a high Arena rank, win GW consistently, succeed in Raids...) to get them. It's the most boring, uninteractive way to get a character.
At this point, you're just bumping the thread regularly, which is fine by me, since it gives it visibility.
