Etheric light is refined from ether, and ether is a resource that can only be harvested by fallen servitor.

But we can buy it in Iron Banner and it's awarded from all types of Nightfall... If we can buy it in Iron Banner with glimmer why can't we buy it with vanguard/crucible marks?

Iron banner is just a way to provide player etheric light, to motivate players to play ib and avoid complaints. It contradict to lore and any story.
-
Does the same thought process account for it dropping in Nightfalls, also?
-
Yep! To simply make it feel like less scare. Otherwise, complaints would be all over the place.

Does this same thought process account for it dropping in ToO, also?
-
Yep! Gameplay mechanism vs story.

So, using this thought process, Etheric Light should only be available in PoE and even then, only when fighting a Servitor a/k/a Skolas. Right? It sure seems like they bent over backwards to make it available. Or, they realized limiting it this dramatically would be absolutely ridiculous. So if they are willing to bend the rules this drastically than there is no reason my idea can't be implemented as well.

They clearly didn't think it throughout enough, the etheric light economic contradict to story and lore. They want players to farm, but then they realize the source of this material would be too scare, so they simple give up the story itself. But I don't think they will add another way to get etheric light.

I don't either. But it's getting a lot of support.
