Asking "Why do you want good gear, if you aren't raiding?" is like asking "Why do you work out, if you aren't going to run a marathon?"; there are reasons to do and have these things besides doing Savage content. It's never been a good question to ask
It is a fair question.

What content in this game does a casual player need more than a marketboard (Or even last TIERS marketboard) gear to complete?

Unless you are specifically doing a current ex/savage/ultimate on release then new gear literally means NOTHING.

Yes getting upgrades is nice, and everyone should get them. But rewards come at the cost of putting in effort, a relic should not be practically free.
(Personally i believe the relics should be higher ilvl than savage, they come out 20-30 weeks after... Is it such a bad thing for relics to be BiS for the last quarter of a savage patch cycle?)
