It's not about better or worse for the players, it's about being a better re-creation of the game from 1999-2001.
Back in '99-'01 you could only get Morning Dew by foraging it or grabbing a ground spawn. Elf tradeskillers complained (a lot: you can still find their complaints on old forums), so having Morning Dews be hard to acquire is classic EQ.
Later on SOE relented and added it to the loot in Mistmoore ... but that happened after 2001.

Not that I need it anymore but morning dew was already insanely rare and hard to get even when dropped off mobs. This change effectively kills off elven cultural blacksmithing. When's the last time you tried collecting ground spawn morning dew? It's almost like they don't even exist. Foraging morning dew can take days upon days of sitting there hitting a button, totally not worth it before and definitely not worth it now.
RIP Elven Cultural Blacksmithing
