Maybe it's all you cared about. You need to remember that different people play the game for different reasons and like different things about it.

I am a new player, doing the relic quest and using my relic weapon even though someone in my FC offered to make me a white weapon which is way better.

Why? 1) I like the lore and quests. 2) I like the thought behind a relic/legendary. 3) I like the 'prestige' of having completed it.

People who only care for stats and BIS are catered to somewhat, although there are probably better games out there for you. Final Fantasy at the end of the day is kinda about the story and the content is there for enjoyment rather than being the best, although like i said, you are catered to as well in many respects.
