Remnant has the tech necesary, and the resources necesary, to make a Dust Lightsaber. Especially Atlas. So it's only logical that Dust Lightsabers are perfectly possible. Is it not possible, when they got the tech and resources all nearby? If so, tell me.

Besides, there's one thing you haven't thought up yet: If one used normal bolts instead of Dust bolts, one would need to still buy Dust to cover the bolts, alongside buying the bolts themselves. The Dust, and it's remote detonation which is an important part of the tactics involving that weapon, could make the bolts unusable after being shot.

And you would also need to buy bullets, be they normal or Dust bullets, from a store as well for the Rifle mode. And also need to change the ammunition every time you change modes.

Meanwhile, with Dust projectiles, you would only need to buy the Dust. No bullets, no bolts, nothing to carry either, just Dust. Dust is used everywhere, for everything, meaning it's easy to find, and accessible. And since it's used for both bullets and bolts, there's no need to change the ammunition type unless you want to use another element.

Overall, it's cheaper because you don't need to buy as many things, and quicker as well. "Expensive"? That's a problem for the OC user to deal with. These weapons are for OCs, after all.
