1. not everyone have access to exp 37,38

2. a little calculation: you need ~3 hours to complete those, no great success = 470 steel per 3 hours > you can get ~4000 steel per day (you can expect ~5000 steel per day with great success), forget about the last fleet (they have more stuff to gather than steel, in most case)

so if you play non-stop, you can get ~5k5 or 6k steel (with daily quest). there are people who do LSC (the hotel/sushi recipe), 6k steel is just barely meet the demand > steel farming arent dead yet, in fact, it gives more steel per hour than expedition

and low level admiral often need steel because of the BB/CV recipe
