Those aren't the Relic weapon, which is a cornerstone of character development and will have continuous upgrades throughout the life of the game. Those other weapons are a stopgap at best, something to use while you work on the Relic upgrade quests.

As opposed to before where you had -no options-.

It is an upside, however slight.
