It was easy to find that "phantom". The language on the screen is Polish. That is somewhat inconsistent both with "rarer than I-core" and definitely inconsistent with "do not drop at all".

My guess is that these pieces of junk do bot drop in 3-star sims. These may drop in 1-star and 2-star simulations. The probability of drop definitely depends on the star count for an I-core (guess: zero for 1 and 2 stars, non-zero for 3 stars), so it may depend for +25 and +50 items as well. Those thousands of 3-star simulations you cite are all 3-star so they may miss these +25 and +50 items. But in general they DO drop in def sim. That is my point.

If you think I forged this screenshot, just try to do some 1-star or 2-star sims. Perhaps you'll get one of these items quite soon.
