Also, we all KNOW it's an issue right now. How much of my time does it waste? Less than a minute each session.

Apparently 25 years worth of minutes.

If you actually do the math, this sounds a lot worse than it actually is:

"If we pretend that the numbers are impossibly evenly distributed and ignore all facts, it doesn't sound as bad!" -Xenos

525600 minutes in a year * 25 years = 13,140,000 minutes / 1 million players (a conservative number) = ~13 minutes per player.

Conservative? I'd say you're being generous! Even though Solstice has no doubt given the population a huge boost, the population across all three platforms this weekend is at about a million unique players according to DestinyTracker (which is a lot higher than the Guardiangg count, which is just over 527k players). A million players on the weekend of a major event? And you're saying that you'd estimate (conservatively, of course!) that Destiny has had a million players on average throughout season 3... Gotta love your optimism, man.

Oh, the HORROR, 13 minutes wasted out of an average of hundreds of hours per player.

You have hundreds of hours over the past couple of months? Jesus, man, put the controller down! Remember that the stats are ONLY for Season 3, so just shy of three months, with the population peaking at a million players (conservative number).
