I love that you are asking for something that should be normalized in every RPG. However, I personally disagree with your assessment.
Considering that we literally have limited weapons etc. in the game, it just wouldn't make much sense. The fact that we can't even sell weapons/armour NOR craft, simply means that whatever you upgrade later is extremely limited.
There are, unfortunately, too little amount of weapons in the games for the classes. At most, there were 3 staves I could choose from (starting weapon excluded). As for attacks, I genuinely feel there isn't enough either. I chose the best ones, which I thought were perfect for my playstyle. That said, there weren't enough for me to craft the perfect playstyle.
To me, a Game+ would be so pointless here. If we could actually craft stuff though AND upgrade them without having to randomly find the upgraded version in the chest or buy them, you'd have more of an argument

I would propose instead more weapons. At the end of my playthrough, I only had 3 specific staves I could use. Sure, I could have equipped fire based or water based ones, but my playstyle was based on necrosis attacks. I ended up picking my favourite staff, but you know. Having a Game+ is not a bad idea in and of itself, but that's a hard sell imo when there are barely anything to equip weapon wise and relic wise.
