Random ammo drops (Destiny)

In Halo, Bungie could design encounters with foreknowledge of what weapons and how much ammo the player could have picked up. Destiny's RNG ammo drops make this impossible, so they have to temper power weapons to prevent players from getting lucky and blowing through encounters.
That's my theory, anyway.
