People tend to take these kind of things as if there's no tomorrow... :/
Some of the items can't be replaced. For instance, the old dated precious metal earrings have +Evasion on them, which is impossible to get for that slot now that the old recipes are gone (the new precious metal earrings add Perception instead). Other items simply look better than other gear. For instance, almost all of the hooded robe recipes were removed from the game, making that a much more unusual look.
