If we're going to use Eureka Elemental Level 60 as a measure of Eureka's popularity, then it's only fair to compare it to Island Sactuary's Maximum Rank percentage.

If we're going to use the Island Adenium Mount as a measure of Island Sanctuary continued grinding past the story content, then it's only fair to compare it to the Ozma acquisition percentage, or maybe the Elemental +2 gear. Like for like.

Especially since reaching Island Rank 20 still doesn't give enough cowries to purchase every mount, minion, glam and portrait. A player would have to continue playing Island Sanctuary for some time to acquire every reward, and for many players reaching their maximum rank and acquiring the things they like, is just good enough.

To claim that Eureka, and to an extent Bozja, participation wasn't at least somewhat boosted by them being linked to relic weapons is completely disingenuous, especially when complaints about how grindy they are, is very common.

I will concede, Bozja is slightly more fun due to CEs than Eureka, but the one off relic grinds for the first relic were still miserable to do, and chores aren't fun, that doesn't mean we won't suffer through them.
Like I said in a different comment you can cut out the “I’m only suffering this for the relic” people by looking at the comparison between reaching Zadnor and reaching resistance 25. Assuming everyone who dropped in that time did because they were only interested in the relic and not the content 3/4 of all players were in Bozja for the content and not the relic

It’s equally…..if not more disingenuous to imply the relic completely buoyed the content and it wasn’t popular on its own given statistically far more people would have dropped in the Zadnor range if the content was being completely buoyed by the relic. Not saying you are saying it’s completely buoyed by the relic but that is a comment sentiment

Your last paragraph is pure opinion

But like I said there is no malicious intent from the other person, they just used the best data we have available
