So, could we just assume that the boost added to RME is based on it being made for content level 120?
And that a lvl 75 RME was made for level 75 content?
and that a lvl 90/95 RME was designed for level 90/95 content?

Still have issues, keep crying.

It's not like they downgraded the weapons, they just made new ones that outclassed the old ones. They did this before with abyssea adding weapons that totally outclassed what was then the best of the best, Relic weapons. Trials were added at the same time (forethought) to RM to make sure they would always be relevent and at the top tier of weapons, and easily obtainable weapons would outclass a 'base' lv75 finished RM.
