I would hazard the Ruins are designed as a somewhat artifical way to prevent people with "perfect" saves from buying pretty much everything before the war, forcing them to make choices and sacrifices. In a sense, nerfing some builds by playing on their owners' inability to just miss forever something so to make sure the war/Chapter 5 won't be a walk in the park.
