Why can't we get KMS/TMS' prism dye selection?

Why did GMS get their own dye system that's different to KMS? Or at least why didn't we get TMS/CMS' selection instead? A huge amount of players used KMS as a guideline and were really looking forward to dying specific items. Players have been buying and storing these items for when the colouring prism comes to GMS, but now we're really disappointed with the miniscule amount of eligible items we got for our region.

KMS currently has 1107 eligible items while TMS has 1065. Yes, I counted them all. Meanwhile, GMS currently only has 34/41 released items that can be dyed; I suspect the extra 7 will be coming out with the stargazer style box. That is a huge disappointment because some players don't even own those 34 items, don't want to change their colour, or don't like the available items at all. Therefore, the demand and need for colouring prisms isn't as high as what it could have been. And what are we supposed to do if we pull a premium prism but don't need it? It's untradable so we can't even sell it to someone who does.

I understand KMS and TMS have had this system for longer and there's always a potential for more items to be gradually added to GMS, but what are we supposed to do about the items we were planning on dying? Will older items ever be added to the list or are we stuck with mainly new release items? What we really wanted was everything released at once because the more options people have, the more excitement that would generate, leading to more profit as the colouring prism would be more sought out.

Furthermore, if GMS wants to head in their own direction, the most ideal choice would be to make everything dyable, or at least a full combination of KMS and TMS - that would create an overwhelmingly positive reaction from the community and generate demand for thousands of items in the game. I personally would really like to dye a certain item from TMS so limiting us to just KMS would be a letdown.

Then that leads me to join in everyone when they say the price of the colouring prism is unreasonable. Why wasn't it added to the cash shop like KMS? Why does it cost 68k nx at just a chance to obtain it? That price is extremely steep and it's not even worth it with the small amount of items we have access to. Sure the regular prisms might be fun to play around with a few times and players might get lucky, but that's not what we want. We want a concrete way to obtain the prism and dye our items however we want the first time.
