It could be from the equality of gear distribution as it currently stands there is a mismatch in a sense.

Artisan gear:
Leather=1
Weaver=1
Carpenter=3
Blacksmith=6

Forager:
Weaver=2
Leather=2
Blacksmith=2

Out of the 8 craft classes 3/8 are used for both sets and 1/8 is only in artisan.

They most likely want to create an opportunity for all craft classes to gain their gear in an equal manner in a similar way as the ixali gloves which imo makes sense.

More time can then be spent actually making the new recipes than building the necessary building blocks to be eligible for those synths.
