Well they were $5 a pop even when they came out, when it was just damcon/goddess onigiri and 55 gallon drums of Hayasui love juice. They were ment for pay to win frontliners that buy their hard mode clears in the first day.

Rings to an extent do provide more "bang for your buck" but then you have to realize you need 1m xp just to get to that point and another 4.4m for level 155... that's a considerable amount of time and effort.

IMO this AA gun / bulge change probably has more to do with sales analysis and attempting to boost income from an item that wasn't particularly appealing rather than revolutionize shipgirl abilities. What you get for what you spend, I'd still not consider RE's beyond the obligitory ones for Maya and Hayasui.
