The poor regular rewards are intentional, so that 3rd Age drop become the new rares (unfortunately only for the extremely lucky ones).
It is obviously intentional because the OSRS team could have made 3rd Age drop as common as other drop so they would be like 5k gp each similar to holiday cosmetics and increased the base values of other items.
Consider OSRS clue scrolls as their attempts to sneak RSC era rares like phats and Santa hats into OSRS... but only for the very lucky ones only god knows.
