Well in 3 weeks time you will know. Basically it is not unlikely. And WP, AK etc are already at "useless" stage if you'd like to call it - literally something people just run for quick myths or just for relic quest. Do people farm Primal HM for weapons these days? Nope because you have Primal EX weapons already.

Yes all these contents will be obsolete just like how Primal HM and and WP/AK are obsolete now. They will go obsolete anyways. That's how SE will make them to be. To go T6 you must pass T5, and in order to close the game to allow more players (and new players) to reach T6, SE has to pave the way.

And unlocking BC1-5 and full myth unlock, allowing you to gain full i90 will give you an easier time to clear T5 (with echo buff). Plus having i90 will be kinda the new "norm" in 2.2 - Yoshida already said T6 will be just like how we first entered T1 (when BC was just released) in DL gears.

All in all, SE wants more people to experience the new contents. To do so you need to close the gap. SE can't grant you skills so all they can help is grant you gears and "echo buff". Plus new contents will be much tougher, so entering 2.2 contents in i90 is really nothing new/surprising.
