Eh...it's standard.
Not saying that standard is somehow inferior, just saying that it's significantly less impressive that someone who's had literally months and months and months to farm for their gems, levels and gear can do this stuff.

You have no clue about self found, did you?

Gear is irrelevant.

Alchs, chaos and chisels do not drop to even dream about sustaining 76+ for prolonged amounts of time, despite being more than enough geared for said maps.

Now I can understand why ex and et are rare.
But the above? It is impossible to understand

I just hit 90 today without trading for any alchs chaos chisel or maps. 100% solo as well. Never touched public parties. Also on invasion, while we are at it, ive got roghly 50 self found orbs of regret.

So how do you roll your 74-78 maps?
Run them white = definitely not going to sustain your map pool.
Run them blue = definitely not going to sustain your map pool.
Use chisels, alchs, chaos and those regrets vendor exchanged to alchs = possibility of sustaining map pool.

However, those maps will not return even the alchs (including min-maxing vendor trades and recipes). Should you be blessed in that you sustain your map pool while using those orbs, you inevitably will run out of chisels, chaos, alchs and those regrets. Which will then mean you can no longer run those maps as you were, alched-chiselled-chaosed, which then results in your map pool imploding.

What you do then, is run lowball content at a silly:1 ratio to higher content to even attempt to just access high content periodically. And this is completely forfeiting any crafting use of the orbs.

The last character I levelled I was running 77 maps at 75 with the orbs I'd collected while levelling and a luck streak in map drops. It wasn't long before that character was lvl 90 without a single alch, chaos or chisel, swatting flies for a living.

This is the point I believe CCR5 was making, the point us veteran solo-self-found end game players have been making for a year and the point you missed.
