The disconnect here is applying the argument of "players having the ability to deny loot is a dick move" to P99. Legacy item loot denial is a part of the game, and everybody but the most green of players understands that certain items get removed after a certain period of time. If you don't get the item in time, you don't get it.
Your argument would be valid if the Sleeper mechanic was the only situation in which legacy items got removed, AND Essence Lens didn't have the prerequisite of the Sleeper being awoken first. But neither of those are true, so the argument falls apart.
