The point is that you're supposed to have to earn your gear. For people at endgame (when these weapons are really for), the cost is completely negligible. It's a bit lopsided to have people enter hardmode, get a lucky kill, and be running around with a scourge of the corruptor when they can't even mine hardmode ores yet. This at least ensures you have to have killed all three mechanical bosses and plantera.
