Because nothing you've mentioned helps lessen the difficulty of the Second Coil of Bahamut except for CT2 which has the "potential" to help alleviate the difficulty of Second Coil of Bahamut.

That's why players that are behind have no other choice but to rely on getting into a good FC, use money to get carries, or submit to the echo buff.

So what you're suggesting only works on paper. Since full soldiery doesn't lessen the difficulty of the Second Coil of Bahamut because outside of getting absurd amount of HP you lose out a lot on accuracy, which is needed, and primary and secondary stats aren't any better than the ilvl90 stuff.

The reality is that farming literally BiS is too time consuming and getting a reliable static to take that demanding route is too much for those that don't enjoy the grind just to try and legitimately lessen the difficulty of turn 6.

If the raiding boss mechanics were more lenient then there wouldn't be a need for these alternatives to exists. Yet that's not the case and that's why this topic is in fact... a topic.
