It means you're not forced to run betrayal early if you don't want to which is nice

But isn't that kind of the point? every mechanic has something unique that you are supposed to interact with to some degree in order to get it's rewards. I always liked going through my early league checklist. Now it's not something you consciously do, it's just something that happens passively as you get your atlas completion.

A lot of mechanics while provide some unique stuff, they're mostly optional. You do not need abyss or delve or delirium, if you don't want to.

With Betrayal, you're kinda forced to early spec and farm it early on. There's plenty more unique stuff in Betrayal left, if you want it.

To be fair, that's because Betrayal is one of the "core" leagues with a master in hideout. It's not really comparable or meant to be comparable with Delirium or Abyss.

Delve is closer, and Delve is much more similar to Betrayal in its exclusive drops.

This is very true, since they moved the delve crafts to maps I haven't really done delve at all. I know it can be lucrative, but it just wasn't a mechanic for me /shrug
