Why is Excalibur Prime so rare?

Excalibur Prime is so rare because it was an exclusive reward for early supporters (Founders) who purchased expensive founder's packs over a decade ago to help fund the game's development; these packs, including Excalibur Prime, Lato Prime, and Skana Prime, were a one-time offer and are permanently unobtainable through normal gameplay, making them a status symbol for legacy players. Digital Extremes (DE) promised not to re-release these items to honor the original founders' support, although a playable version of Excalibur appears in a quest, as per a Reddit post on r/Warframe, and Umbra serves as a more powerful, accessible alternative.
