Why is "It's something to do" apparently a valid defense?

People are crying that they don't have any content to do but then cry when they give us something time consuming to work on. The relic isn't even difficult. In short, if people's argument is the "lack of content", they're going to get the response that actually, there is content, you just don't want to do it.

No, there isn't any new content. I did all this stuff required by the relic weeks or months ago. I even did some of the dungeons over a year ago. I've done thousands of fates and cleared each of the required dungeons dozens of times. I've done beast tribe quests, I've done Alexander, I've done crafting. There is absolutely nothing new offered in the 3.15 relic quest.
