Any prestige they have isn't particularly from being difficult to get, considering people got them in TBC, but time-locked. If I believed in parallel universes where similar things happen with slightly different outcomes, I would honestly believe there's one where Blizzard never removed old Naxx in WoTLK and Corrupted Ashbringer and Atiesh would've been just as "special" as Thunderfury or Val'anyr is today.
People honestly have to stop associating time locks with prestige tbh. The BfA pre-patch mounts are no longer available, but they were piss-easy to get; basically a participation award. Are they prestigious?
