Personally, I don't think the Artifact Gear is wasted at all; once you acquire it, you can glam its aesthetic on to any piece of gear you later replace it with.

FFXIV's glamour system has all but entirely decoupled stats and aesthetics.

I speak in terms of usefulness as actual gear. It's usually tossed aside rather quickly for better gear. We didn't even get the dyeable versions in SB and SHB until the relic content, and by then it was only glamour gear. I'd like to actually use it longer as suitable "stat-useful" gear to do content.

We should at least be able to use it to get raid gear after hitting level cap. Which we couldn't in EW.
