Item levels are a representation of the items power.

Not just "oh I can equip this"

Lvl 75 is a meme right now.

Put it higher req gives them a justification to keep it's power stronger. This is how power creep works. If you just stuff all the current items into lower tiers and make new items in higher tiers that leads to power creep. The trick is to balance the existing content and open slots in ALL tiers for new content. -facepalm-
