It's not a poor argument, it was the content, the content was not Eureka or Bozja. The content was separate from field operations and something people liked.
I fail to see how you think this is an actual gotcha unless you're being incredibly disingenuous. The relics were content before field operations and were pulled into them. The people who liked the old style of relics don't necessarily have to like the new method when it's an entirely different form of content.
