IRL garbage also has value if it is used for recycling. In this case it is exactly how much teddy.bear values it: if he would recycle salvage it he would receive high-grade metal.
Moreover when IRL electronics is recycled it does not matter how powerful it is, only how much precious metal(s) it contains. In our case it does not matter how powerful it is, only which grade it is. Because it is Magnificent teddy.bear can receive 1 HGM for destroying this piece of equipment. He is willing to send it to you if you give him the same price (actually, he offers you a small discount: you do not have to give him scrap metals).
That means he actually have quite a solid reason to call it a garbage: for him it is worthless as a piece of equipment, he would never equip it. But this game has a reward for recycling your garbage (and keeping DB of equipment smaller). If his garbage is more valuable in your eyes, you are welcome to accept his offer.
1) What you're saying does not apply to the term "garbage."
2) Salvage isn't a reward. See: free shops.
I've already received my answer in the form of an empty mailbox.

What, everybody needs something new to complain about endlessly?
Generating your own complaints is the end-game of ecchiverse.
Speaking of which, I have a new radical plan for the next patch. Boosting gear isn't enough to fix the psychological damage of gear inflation. It's time for a wipe. All non-soulbound and obsolete/collector's gear should be deleted. In its place, new gear's ranges and rarity should be adjusted. Peerless should be 1.3 or 1.33 times better instead of 1.25. But, peerless should be removed. Magnificent should be at least as rare as Legendary, and Legendary should be at least four times as rare as Magnificent. Very slightly raise the base rolls for each tier (new gear is guaranteed to be better), then even out the Exquisite+ rolls instead of keeping the current massive exq jump and tiny mag+ jumps (solving the complaints of higher tier gear having very low rolls). However, since noodles give guaranteed exquisites and daily noodles are a common occurrence, either exquisites should get a smaller portion of the bonus or rob costs should be increased.
