Dark Matter, does these still matter anymore?

Even back in 1.0 I only ever repaired to 100% if I was going to try and sell the item, or it could be stored in the armoire (even then rarely, I'd usually just stick it in my retainer's inventory). Never saw much use for player repairs, always saw it as functionally useless then as all 100% repair did was make it sellable/tradeable 99% and not having to track down several different crafters and carry around several tiers of dark matter was far more convenient, and even if one crafter class could repair all gear, still would be kinda useless.
