"Coming into its own" is too much!

I disagree. It's just an illusion of choice, you can do as much Diadem as you want but people who want their weapons will be spamming a select few daily roulettes and the ARF dungeon. Yes, a lot of things give you esos but the majority of them are pretty irrelevant unless you want to get your weapon in 4.0.

Also, a lot of "DoW activities" is still not as varied as doing other optional things like making gil and spiritbonding. Not everyone had to progress through that route, but at least it added variety to the grind.

Edit:

Here's a thought, don't get this item then. Do the content that is designed for you! It's not like the relic weapon is better than many other options, and frankly if you can't put in enough time to do a few dungeons and get your tomes. The game probably isn't for you.

Like I mentioned earlier, to some jobs such as SCH and Noct.Ast, the accuracy stat IS the best possible option. So unless they add an accuracy option to tome weapons, certain roles will be forced to go through this route. They can still make a grind without dragging it quite as far, or at least make it more interesting for everyone.
