By having exclusive items, you put value on it, and it gives a sense of personal touch for people to have stuff they like. The moment you make it essentially a clone - well, not as interesting. Nothing wrong with a little pride for helping out.
You are correct, it is less interesting, but they still get to have a unique entry. The upside is that everyone else gets to have the bootleg version. If it's just an effect (like an engine, thruster, or a weapon that has the same stats as something that already exists), then sure, that can be exclusive. My main gripe with exclusivity is when there's a cool new thing that offers something new on the gameplay side of things but it's only available to one person. There's only so many things we can do to spice things up and limiting that further through exclusivity is something I'll never be able to get behind.
