So Relic nets the card when you crack it but you need it early to keep the GY clear. If you do crack it you risk the opponent being able to come back if that's your only GY hate. Crook still has that problem but you can target specific cards. That's WAY better than the opponent choosing. I think I like Crook better.
Crook costs one more to play and one more to exile a single card while not cycling when you want to use its second mode to exile all GY. The ability to get rid of a specific card is nice, but the constraints it puts on your mana makes it harder to develop your own board so your opponent has more time to develop theirs.
Relic for 2 mana exiles all graveyard and replaces itself.
Crook for 3 mana exiles all graveyard.
The selection of what to exile the Crook gives you, while not meaningless, is so close to it when you compare the huge power differences I mentioned above.

Relic of Progenitus is way better than Crook of Condemnation in terms of mana efficiency, which is critical in Modern.
You will not see Crook of Condemnation plays in Modern as long as Relic of Progenitus is legal
