While we're at it can we just retire the absolutely worthless Vampire, Illithid, and Banshee series weapons? They are clogging up the game and I know approximately zero players who use/enjoy them other than brand new players who have no choice.
What if you think of it like this, the Draining Proc suffixes exist so that you can be happy when you don't get gear with those suffixes. The shrine is the same way. You can bring thousands of restoratives into battle so the Last Elixir's only value is the 200 credits you can get by dumping it into the bazaar. Thus because the LE exists, you are therefore happy whenever you shrine an artifact and don't get a LE.
