Frustration about itemised corpses

I'm absolutely frustrated right now because of how Itemised Corpses work.

Right now, Itemised Corpses from ritual are not saved in Desecrate, and if you lose one of the spectres by either death, gem removal, or replacing, you have to buy another one.

In trade, I believe this works just fine, because you can just go and buy another corpse to replace the previous one.
In SSF, however, I have just run like a 100 maps to find Perfect Hulking Miscreation in ritual.
In the meantime I was using other 2 spectres and found another itemised corpse that was really useful (the one with culling strike and onslaught aura). I used the corpse and created a spectre from it, and used the spectre gem to replace the second with the one I wanted.

So now I have the miscreation corpse on my inventory, and I know that if I use it to create a spectre I will replace the other perfect spectre I have, and there is no way to keep it.
I can't even craft anything or change helmets without losing the spectres. It just does not feel right for SSF.
I have to run hundreds of maps to find a corpse I want, and it completely locks everything I do with my spectre gem once I find it.
Imagine if I need to change the resistance on my helmet, and this simple action will make me run another hundred maps to find another body.

I really wish these corpses could become part of desecration pool, so I could feel last stuck and less frustrated when I needed to add a new spectre to my setup.

If _I_ was the game designer at this company I'd do many things different. This for example. WHY are they not in the desecrate pool? Most of them are useless after your nerfs anyway. AND YOU DON'T BOTHER DO UNDO ANY (PAST) NERFS.

I hope the other competitors have some better minion mechanics, cause GGG is nerfing them to hell. FOR YEARS.
Please fix this.
It's especially hard on the steam deck as there is even a button to swap item on your cursor with equipped item.
I just did this by mistake (it's a small screen) while filling the dienchanter in kingsmarch, and boom, 17 divs of spectres gone.
Previous time I lost them, I mistakenly agreed to PvP Vs a friend, boom 17 divs of spectres gone.
Not lost them once in actual battle, but this stupid mechanic keeps killing them.
Please, please, please, make spectres that unsummon from gear or gem changes just go somewhere it's easy to resummon them from.
We are fine replacing them if they die, but for an accidental button push, it's just bloody ridiculous.
