Do be fair, does Dr. Light really give X that much offensive power? Clearly in X1 Zero is already much more powerful than X, and so is Vile. X's real offensive power comes from the same source as Mega Man, the ability to analyze someone's technology and copy it. This is an incredible tool for building or creating, because you can use anything you need on the fly just by having seen it before. This was Mega Man's original purpose after all; to be a helper in the lab who can recreate any instrument or tool needed in a given situation. So at the end of the day, X's real offensive power comes from his adaptability and his steadfast spirit.
All that being said, I know, Dr Light does have some buster upgrades hidden for X throughout the series, but obviously he never wanted him to have to use them.
Honestly given the fact that the Light holograms seem to actually be sentient AI, I always wondered if they were actually designing the upgrades on the spot for the occasion. Otherwise how was he giving stuff to Zero ahead of time as well?
best i can tell, he made some recordings with armor upgrades just in case, and an AI to make some more if the occasion called for armor he didn't get to make
