That's an interesting point I had not considered, but I agree then. I mean to a degree it makes sense, a full 700->760 upgrade is roughly 700-ish total itemlevel gained over all pieces, so it makes sense that I gain about as much stats as a whole extra item. But you are right of course in that this feels like too much, and it's also an issue because 760 is not the end. I would assume this whole "one extra item worth of stats" could be the entire expansion, comparing the lowest proper obtained sets to the highest ones, that'd be okay. But it should never be more than that, really.

And then if that "squish" would be propagated downwards through all old levels and expansions, we'd see a significant total drop in the power curve (and a number squish like hell in general, we'd probably be sitting at 240-300ish ilvl right now instead of 760), but there'd still be a neat progression. Still, I think like in WoW, it'd be wildly unpopular because it "feels bad".
