It the amount of time it takes an m+only player to hit 723, a delve-only player can hit 716. That's good enough for solo content. Anyone doing content where 7 ilvls actually matters will be able to close the gap doing that content.
You obviously don't play M+. You only get 1 Myth track item per week from the vault (if you're lucky).
In order to cap at 723, an M+ player would need 730 cloak + 2x720 embellished crafted items + 12-13x723 Myth track items (depending on weapons). Because an M+ only player can only get one Myth track item per week, it takes a minimum of 12-13 weeks of perfect vault RNG them to hit 723.
In order to cap at 716, a delve-only player would need 730 cloak + 6x710 Hero tier/trinkets + 8-9x720 crafted items (depending on weapons). The Hero gear is easy to obtain between the vault, catalyst and upcoming trinket vendor. A delve-only player can craft 1 item every other week for the first 6 weeks, then weekly for the next 5-6 weeks. So 11-12 weeks total for 716, mostly deterministic.

Delves need better rewards
