If you can beat the hardest content there is with the gear you have, you no longer need gear for anything - anything easier than the hardest content would be less demanding after all. As such, if you reward the best gear for the hardest content, that gear automatically serves no real purpose, as there's nothing harder you might need it for.

Kinda like loot from post-game super bosses, really.
