So the only defence is that cause the reward does justify the grind.
Were you here before this relic? They will usually keep the quests updated to meet the ilvl meta everytime, the 210 relic isn't the only thing you will keep forever.

The problem is SE likes to use FATES because they have no other use outside of leveling, and they throw every story dungeon in there as well, (except Great gubal) so they are at the same time trying to make it easier for newbies. i see WHAT they are doing..it's just vets don't like it since it's to close to old relic. So you can probably expect next stage to need materia again...i HOPE not. but just be ready for it.
