"Because like with most things in life, many people here are dumb"

I really wasn't hoping for that answer, but c onsidering that  Shigure Kai 2 came out before November event  and when I asked why people didn't use Shigure K2 or Yukikaze for E-4 they were still like "her Kai 2 wasn't out yet then" and "very few people had Yukikaze" (not sure if this one was true back then), I shouldn't have expected anything else.

" Wasteful construction of ships that you can get as common drops."

Doing 250/30/200/30 for Hachi (or first Yukikaze), doing minimum crafts (all 30) for daily quest, doing normal construction recipes for BB early in the game to clear early maps more easily, or doing normal construction recipes for CVs because it's way cheaper than LSC, are all justifiable. Not sure which ships you're referring to that are common drops. Maybe people not using LSC to get BBs after early game?

If it's the crafting for missing ships which are easily farmable, there's some basis to it. A good number of people get their first of certain ships from crafting, after sortieing time after time failed to get them their mssing ships. And RNG just has to make them drop in sorties like candy after they craft their first of the missing ships, as if it's teasing them.

"Circlejerk surrounding "ingenious" recipes that only report successes and not failures nor rates so they are of no help to anyone."

Just placebo. People do like to brag about getting something great results from unconventional and untested recipes. In fact all established recipes started out like that; only those which were found earlier and are used a lot more are really tested seriously.

" Deliberate hoarding of extraordinary amounts of resources way beyond what is necessary for the event for no reason."

Again, bragging rights. Due to Yahagi happening during fall event, people started hoarding resources in case the same thing happened in the next major event. Somewhere along the way, it became a hoarding race and people started boasting that "my resource count is higher than yours and so I'm more prepared for farming the next event than you are". Then it went on to full-on boasting and some people even forgot why they were hoarding in the first place; they just want to have more resources than the next player.

"Anyway, the Kongous are indeed awesome. If this was a competetitive game, they would be "imbalanced" especially considering their repair time and how common they are as drops."

Agreed; probably somewhere along the way the developers could make slow BBs more powerful or having more armour than fast BBs. Which may or may not help them depending on whether branching rules continue to bully slow ships.

But until then, fast BBs don't lack armour.
