Would you prefer an actual Patron (like every other Warlock), as opposed to the "weapon" being that?

Like, the weapon is a gift of the "Hexblade" Patron, but the true power comes from the Being? (The Weapon is only a link)

Segev was opposed to that; seeing it as only one step away from connection to a deity. (I think)

With the exception of giving nerfed Legendary Weapons at first level, it's hard to imagine the same Weapon at 1st level being able to grant all the Warlock powers (spells, Invocations, "Hexblade" abilities) up to 20th level.
