I'm sure some quit, some new ones where made, but the overall trend is the same, the relic weapons that are usually picked are ones that are high cost in bronze (which can reflect that each weapon is not truly best for every class like the staff) even back at 75 when relics was the only thing. SE said themselves they really do not consider complaints about an issue unless a lot of people speak up about it (statement SE made when asked about the shortcomings on SMN)
So relics where never fixed.

Then came mythic, and yet again not many cared to step up and say "hey most of these weapons suck"

Now that emp weapons are out people really start to care. The imbalances are now very glaring with those weapons out and it is time to fix them.
I'm pretty sure SE does not know, they throw random stats on stuff a lot without though testing. (they had a lot of time to balance relics among themselves and make them appropriate for the jobs, same with mythic)
