OK now I’m curious. If you’re already swapping out uppers on a single lower using a lightweight, BCG and swapping the bolt between uppers, why not balance it out with the buffer weight and swap out the way to at the same time? I’m just curious.

No one said anything about swapping a lower. The 300blk is it's own rifle. If I break a bcg or I break one in my other rifles if like to be able to pull the bcg from anything and swap it. If the 300blk could only run on a lightweight bcg and I shear a gas key in SOL. Same goes for springs. There are multiple ways to skin a cat and adjusting the gas port was the best option for my set of criteria.
Counteracting your BCG weight with buffer weight makes no sense and highlights your misunderstanding about tuning ARs. If a person purposely uses a lo mass BCG they need to adjust the gas to match. The buffer and BCG reciprocate together. Upping the buffer weight because the BCG is lo mass defeats the purpose of using a lo mass BCG in the first place.
