It makes the 135/2, for example, a crappy 85/1.2 lens.

If it has the same FOV, same DOF, and collects the same amount of light,  how does it become "crappy?"

Like the cheap wide angle adapters that you can screw on top of your lens but in this case, it goes to the back of the lens.

There is a huge difference where you put the optics.

No, it is not better. 135/2, for example becomes 85/1.2 but that is on crop, so it is equivalent to 135/2 again.

It's no better than than the 135/2 on FF but it's also not worse.   There is not much size difference between a 135/2 and an 85mm/1.2 but there is a huge size difference between a 50mm f/1.8 + compressor and a retrofocus 35mm f/1.2.
