There were many suggestions for exactly that to happen in numerous threads during the last 6 months by the majority of the the players. If you had read those thread you would have very much expected it, as many did. This being said here are some other points you might or might not want to consider:
1. In all other MMORPGs/RPGs I have ever played, all but the lowest quality drops are immediately better than the best gear of the previous level cap. In this case it is only one new weapon, as the new daggers are not that good.
2. The myth bow lvl 41 is practically still better than the new legendaries, although marginally so.
3. It has been the best weapon for over a year. Imo one can't expect it to be the best after that long.
4. The new content is pretty hard even in the normal maps, so legendary players need a chance. After 6 months of talks about narrowing the gap between the poor and the rich this certainly is a great way to do it.
5. The best crate body armour is superior to the mythic one and is almost on par with the previously extremely expensive imbued (the crit chance is what makes it inferior in a way, but it does give a higher armour rating).
6. Just look at the prices of pets such as maridos, Nekro and the arcane ring and you will see that all plummeted. In fact if it were not for the dragonite bar, the arcane ring would probably be 5 million by now.
7. All in all the majority of the game population is very very happy with the current situation.
