Why? so that you have to shout longer to find the guy who built the 2 you need in your group?
What content gives you the impression that mythics are needed for anything? It's the nature of the player base, not the content. Or did you think VW required RMEs? Delve requires RMEs? Skirmish requires RMEs? Normal BCs require RMEs? All listed are things I've seen people shout for hours at times, looking for x job with mythic, for no real good reason at all.

It's as Afania said, when someone makes a pug, they go for the top end. What he didn't go into detail about and where most pugs go wrong is they demand the top end. That doesn't mean the content needs it, that's just the player base's mentality of "go with the highest chance to succeed." And as he said, when pugging, outside of checking out their gear sets in detail, asking what weapon they have is a short cut to getting an idea of how well they're geared. Doesn't mean it works 100%.
