And currently, while it's not the most engaging, tomes are what allow the greatest pick in selection. Like it or hate it, but it's true.
But roulette *is* different. Sure field operation also use fate grind, but you're ignoring things that make it unique compared to content outside of it. Namely the extra system they added to it; logos, lost action, phantom jobs; tougher/deadlier enemies. For bozja we even have CLL etc. You don't get those thing when doing tomestone or grinding normal overworld fates.

Saying it's "recycled content" is also pretty unfair for me. Do you expect them to create entirely new system/mechanic for every relic grind? By your logic, it's not worth doing msq, trials, raid, deep dungeon because they're all recycled content anyway.
