We know that most types of Dust are created through combining Dust types, "naturally and artificially." Perhaps Hard-Light Dust is one type that is produced through artificial combining.

If Atlas controls the production of Hard-Light Dust, it could be artificial rarity, like how De Beers controlled how many diamonds were actually put on the market, despite diamonds being absolutely nowhere near as rare as they have been portrayed as.
