This change was made because a lot of people complained about getting a reward that was way above their level. I remember when I could reasonably expect to get a crossbow before it was even possible I could make a hunter's bow. The same goes for my 9 mm. Occasionally the trader would have an SMG as a reward.
Now you're probably not going to be given a weapon as a reward that you can use. You might be able to buy one but you are going to be closer to making it by the time you can buy it.
