People want to play w/ others on the same skill level as them. Its not hard to get i90. i90 requirements just sift out those who arent interested in getting it done as fast as possible. when you have to farm 13,500 myth for your animus. any extra time due to a brd that is i70 and not doing as much damage as much as an i90 is time you dont have to spend grinding mythology. if you dont like the item level requirements in party finder. use the duty finder until you do.
