...has there been any thought given to granting the long standing request the crafting bench create GS 500 gear consistently its top end upgrade.

There is enough randomness in what each piece of created gear would have as far as attributes and stats that a consistent GS of 500 seems a small thing to give.

Right now there is no reason to craft anything except gun mods as you find them or replicas as needed for projects; otherwise it is not worth the effort (at least to me).

So any hope the bench will be changed?

The crafting and recalibration systems have been brought up quite frequently before. While there may not have been any major changes to them with this update, it does not mean it's off the table.
