The answer is that the fight, and to better extent the game itself, is meant for enjoyment, not to merely placate one's ego. This means somethings are not going to be about gear progression or linear progress.
Fights in general are always more enjoyable when you can actually get something out of them i.e. loot you can use and such, backwards progression like getting a Mog Weapon when you have relic is silly, I however as a collector will do the fight simply to collect them but it's silly that the fight and CT weren't implemented to begin with.
