It's a figure of speech (Destiny)
A commonly accepted term for weapons or abilities that outclass the rest. One that communicates an idea without needing to explain yourself because everyone knows what it means. One that you even used yourself, so I know you know what it means.
The question was "Why do people use Y1 weapons still"
The answer is because a lot of them are far and away better than Y2 weapons, because a lot of them have far better stats and/or perk combinations. Which you seem to disagree with on account of there being a lot of them?
There being many (many!) good Y1 weapons makes Y2 weapons better?
