If possible , i would say you should have your final connection in another airport than SVO and if possible not in russia

the problem is that aeroflot is more or less a kind of monopoly in russia on some domestic routes , if you fly from another country and want to buy everything under the same booking (or without changing airports in moscow) and they are not ashamed of charging huge prices when you compare with flights to other international cities close to russian borders
You seem to be talking about sensible connecting time. MCT is essentailly a legal threshold set by the airline. If OP's scheduled connecting time did not violate MCT, that's all that matters.
