Diablo 4's Legendary items are nothing like what Reddit user Fr0zenberg found. They shouldn't be yellow like rare items, and they have a status that shouldn't exist after Blizzard's massive loot makeover; either Fr0zenberg found the rarest item in the game, or he found the world's first pirated copy of a Legendary

"The most rare item in the game is the one that is not in the game.

"I got a 'legendary' rare item..." Fr0zenberg wrote in a post to Reddit, along with a screenshot of the supposedly unobtainable chest piece. The tooltip says it is a rare item, but it has a unique effect that usually only appears on legendaries. It also has a "damage reduction" status that is no longer available on regular items. One commenter found it too unbelievable and accused Fr0zenberg of Photoshopping the screenshot. But when Fr0zenberg posted the video evidence, they took it back: "I stand corrected."

Fr0zenberg's video includes boots that have the same problem as the chest piece. They claim they got them as a quest reward (can't remember which quest) and their legendary power works despite being classified as a rare quality item. Perhaps it is an odd visual bug due to it being a quest reward rather than a drop, but I didn't think it was possible for the item's tooltip to lie.

Unfortunately, neither item is of much use to max-level characters. Both are lower tier than the final world tier difficulty in Diablo 4, so they will only be useful while you are leveling up. Damage reduction is one of the most valuable defensive stats in the game, but not powerful enough to equip low-level gear on high-level characters; Fr0zenberg's cheap Legendary is just a novelty, and will probably be bug-fixed when season 5 starts next week.

Alternatively, some believe that these items are an example of a new crafting feature that will be implemented in the October expansion, Vessel of Hatred, for endgame players who, according to Blizzard, usually ignore rare items once they are fully equipped with Legendaries, They plan to increase the value of rare items. Perhaps the level squish rumors will come along with a reworking of rare items to have similar unique effects on rare items. Personally, I don't see that happening. It is far more likely that it will be broken down into a new type of crafting material rather than becoming a fake legendary. However, I agree with some who commented on Fr0zenberg's post: they absolutely should keep what could be two of the rarest items in Diablo 4.
