It gives people a reason to continue to collect / sell the favor mats.
And going by the fact that Aquapolis drops a ton of them, and that the items necessary to do favors have dropped considerably, I have a feeling that off hands will stay red scrips for a while.

Instead of spending the red scrips on off-hands, it's faster (and profitable) to make them and sell them on MB.

Aside from making off-hand's, it seems like there is little use for favor mats.
(Unless you want to make your own blue scrip equivalent gear for overmelding.)

EDIT: But to answer the question, I didn't see anything about this mentioned in the patch notes.
there is still some use for red scripts, some items were locked by red scripts , like 180 war/magic gear used to cost 5m a piece. never bothered to get it cause it would be a waist to get that as a glamour when u can use the favor for ur crafters. maybe now the prices will fall and i can finally get them glamour pieces i wanted xD
