You had to grind salvage every day for like 3-4 months straight to get a mythic back in FFXI.
The grind for a relic in this game isn't even a fraction of what you had to do in XI, it's not even comparable in terms of a time sink let alone difficulty. Nothing about the "effort" anyone puts in for a relic weapon ugprade in this game comes close to what raiding rewards should be, a sidegrade is all it should ever be, and at the end of content lifespan. Unless they rework the content to involve something other than going into lowbie instances and dungeons for the sake of not allowing content to die off when it would otherwise be wholly irrelevant, that's how I'm going to think of it.
