The biggest complaint about Mythics was that it took 50+ days per Mythic, because of having to do 50 Assaults for every single one.
Nothing stopped anyone from buying all the alexandrite before. Your entire argument is "it was never hard, it just took a long time, not because it was hard, but because you were forced to wait".

It takes the exact same amount of man hours to make a mythic today and it did yesterday. Just now, instead of being forced to spread it over months, you can do it more quickly.
