To be fair, we have seen different types of Observers with entirely different uses, and all of them appeared below 40F. There was a type for creating projections, another for observation of the target, another for hiding of the user, and I'm sure there are many more to come, up to and including direct combat utility.

In fact, I suspect that the use of Observers hasn't changed all that much, it's probably the quality that changed. If the original use of Observers in combat was +- what we see from the Purple Dementor, then they were probably quite a specialty items. This would have been sacrificed the moment they started mass-producing Observers so that even low-grade Regulars can have a pair.

Moreover, the gap would be even greater if Ancient Observers were actually subjugated Shinheuh, Shinheuh turned into items, or even subjugated Shinheuh combined with items. The last two options would justify the Purple Dementor's creepiness... =P
