You're making it sound dreadful on purpose. To spend from a script, you need to create a valid transaction and sign it. Nothing is stopping you from creating and signing that transaction outside of Armory. The private keys are in your control the whole time, that's what matters in the end.

It is true that if you are not technical and wish to withdraw coins from an Armory specific script type on whatever air drop fork, you would have to wait for someone else to make that code available to you. If you're aggressively after the airdrops, I suggest you stick to legacy P2PKH, as it is the most widely accepted script type.
