Musashi is awesome, but I hope they don't increase the sortie and repair costs too much. I cannot speak for the (numerous) other times the Devs have given K2 to a non-nameship before the nameship, but in this case, I think the reasonling has everything to do with the upcoming event.

It has been strongly implied (or outright stated, depending on your sources and/or interpretations)  that Musashi is the main protagonist of Wintr 2018, hence the reason for her increased drop-rate in LSC.

...if anything, it would be an insult and travesty for her to NOT get her K2 on the eve of the largest naval battle ever fought.
