Sigh, yet again to explain to people who seemingly forget.
The "Smart" part of the smart loot system is supposed to mean that you won't get weapons where the 5th piece bonus does not match the weapon in question e.g. you won't get sword singer bows or Hawk eye shields or healer habit destro staves.
You can still get destro staves for general weapon damage sets and bows for general magicka damage sets as it's considered okay by Elder Trolls Online, but whether they've actually implemented any of the above is highly uncertain.
Bonuses like Armor penetration or weapon damage bonuses can't be use with the skills of Restoration or desto skills. If you get 350 extra weapon damage it doesn't translate with magic weapons.
I said nothing to imply it made any sense, only that it's how ZOS decided to apply it.
