Because not everyone is interested in 99 content. Some people come back for the nostalgia of the game (myself included). And with nostalgia comes the hint of challenge. New people deserve to have at least a spark of the excitement we felt with the original content; if they, or their linkshell, don't want to bulldoze through missions then it'd be nice to have an option to cap ourselves.

Eventually people are going to finish collecting all the gear they want from the 99 endgame content. And with the end of development on the horizon, people need a reason to continue playing the game. Nostalgia is a great reason to keep coming back.
