Pretty much this, especially in a game where players only know what was placed before and clamor so hard for it that it bars devs from allowing new ideas to enter the series because players that want their "good ol' days" simply have no clue how XIV works.

At this point though, I wouldn't mind it if 5.0 either didn't provide a relic or only offered an actual item at the absolutely end of the expansion.
