What is the point of a game if there's nothing to strive to get? Why does it matter if the color is blue or not? What the name is?
Relic itself is gated by steps which can end up being tedious (espesically atma for the longest time), while at the same time other (more accessible options no less, such as UAT) are available. The end result ends up not justifying the time sink for some people, either aesthetically (to me) or statistically (it's not BiS).

Yes it's not going to be BiS forever, but that doesn't mean the next upgrade which can be obtained trivially (which is probably going to be the case when we get CT3) should blow it out of the water due to extreme vertical progression.

Your last statement is also the reason why I dislike people using the whole "Relic can be upgraded, drops can't" thing to justify it's long grind...because in the end you're upgrading the weapon slot. You'd be replacing that HA weapon with the ironworks, Novus with Nexus, etc etc.
