And the Hellenized portion of the Empire kept on trucking for centuries and even regained major portions of the Western Empire. So your point doesn't really hold water since the East was also where all the money and finances and high culture of the broader classical Empire was concerned. While the region that established it was the West, the West was an ass-backwards land of savages who were good at killing in carload lots by comparison to the East.
