Because progressing your character is fun.
Progressing is only fun when your actually putting a challenge to do. Doing a relic is easy getting a savage weapon is far more bothersome unless you have a all star crew who is willing to drag you through it. Relics were always a complementary thing that eventually would be equal/ on par with the savage gear at the end of the expac. most of the people got multiple weapons for the glamour.

However to want something out of the gate that is equal to savage gear is completely ridiculous. it would kill any reason to do savage cause savage is stressful at times specially when you pug it. It once took me 14 hours to get one kill in kefka only to see one person run off with all the stuff. It was bad luck and lag sure but still. Relics are consistent its just that pagos really screwed the pooch in this regard. I refuse to do pagos I got my pld cricket bat with horrible stats and I put it in my retainer.

if you want equal weapons to savage either do savage or wait for 4.5.5 when everything gets equalized.
