I concur, in fact I would go as far as to suggest that more things should be deconstructable for materials. The crown items that we get from daily login are almost useless once you're no longer a new player so you either end up with 10,000 useless potions in your bank (for no reason) or you simply have to destroy them every time you get them and get nothing back.
The game is 9 years old so really by now ZOS should have figured out a way to make EVERY item useful in one way or another, if you can't use crown poisons or crown health potions then you should be able to break them down into something that you can use - even if it's a case of only getting 1 mat for every 100 deconstructed.
It's the same with research scrolls, once you have maxed all research these scrolls are no longer of any use other than on alts and not everyone creates alts.

It seems to be a bug. They didn’t want people to be able to reconstruct monster sets below level 50 so people couldn’t bring them into sub-50 PvP. But they didn’t consistently apply that rule to some new sets. It’s like how some sets still proc off things they shouldn’t (or don’t proc off things they should) even years later. No one updated that specific set for its new proc conditions.

It was disabled. I know more than one person who lost a lot of transmutes that way.
(So now transmutes are stored in gear that costs only 25 transmutes to construct, so it doesn't do any good to have mythic deconstruction disabled.)

Yeah, I was gonna say, people used to store transmutes this way, so it was definitely possible at one point, not sure when that changed.

Mythics have never been deconstructable.
People have and still do save transmutes by reconstructing a 25 cost gear piece and storing it. I do this with Sellistrix helmets all the time. But that has never worked for mythics. Pretty sure a lot of people lost transmutes day 1 of the Western Skyrim chapter by trying to do this.

recreation did not exist when antiquities were added lol, that wasnt even added until blackwood
pre-recreation you had to dig up more copies of the mythic if you wanted more of them

That's mad. In what world would gear only obtainable in veteran dungeons be available to players under level 50? Didn't even know that bug existed but it should definitely get straightened out. Just seems to be helping vet players that dominate under-50 even more.
On topic - yes I would love to be able to decon mythics to get my transmutes back!
