Except that, if you go up to the final weapon/armor, those will always be the best items in all four zones of Eureka, allowing you to farm other Eureka gear faster, as opposed to the previous relic being overshadowed by merchant gear in old content or being ilvl synced back to where you started in current content.
Gear has no value except as a progression tool, so a 405 weapon being handed out only after you complete the end boss of the terminal raid of the expansion is kind of a waste.

And Eureka gear isn't a relic weapon, so I'm not really sure why you're bringing that up. I am talking about my displeasure for the SB relic weapon. You can still have Eureka nonsense even if that particular nonsense isn't the relic. They could have just as easily tossed 380 weapons on a vendor like they did with armor.
