Can do a salvage run in 50 minutes, unlike Dynamis or VW(most of the time). Not only that, but unless the level 99 Emp is amazing, there will be no market. There's only one right now because there are rich players who don't mind dropping 150m for 2 stats and 3 damage. I only know of 5 people willing to buy plates on Asura. There are 30ish Ukon owners, don't get me started on all the kannagi and masamunes.

As for saying there is no market for Mythics, they have several of the best weapons in the game. Ryunohige, Conqueror, Ken-Kon-Ken, Yagrush, Nirvana are all clearly, or at the very least debatably better than their relic/empyrean counterparts. The demand would be there if Assault/Ichor/Nyzul costs went down significantly, as those are what keep a lot of people from diving into mythics.
