It's a finish option that some like and some don't.
Overdone relics are usually silly ... but I see them as sort of cool in a 'film prop' sort of way.
I have one relic guitar (purely because I wanted the guitar ... not particularly the finish) ... and I actually quite like it ...

And
PRS are for dentists aren't they?
All followed up by a DrewFx thread asking if you've ever licked a girls Kemper in off topic
Exactly.
I want to do one, not because I really want one, but because I want to see if I could do it well.

Custom Shop Relics are almost always exceptionally good guitars - right up there with the best 'real' vintage Fenders.
Whether the idea appeals to someone is a matter of individual taste.

Last time I was up in Paris at Pigalle (it's like Denmark street, but for Frogs) I was amazed just how shit so many of the boutique brands of relics were (not mentioning any names) seeing them in the flesh.
Really plastic like finishes, struck me it was very like going to Disney and looking at the fake rocks - A sort of facsimile of the real deal, but in a very fake way.
Having just built a relic though, I love the way that you don't have to be so precious about them, it's the only guitar I let my cat sleep on
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
When I turned 40, cool stopped being important. I'm much happier now.
