nobody cares about being left behind. when a new patch comes out, the old gears will be inferior to the new ones anyway so why do we need to wait for casual players when they themselves don't give a damn?
It's more like "we don't want the hardcores to gear up everything in a week and then complain about not having any content, and then unsub until the next patch."

This is about the money. By forcing people to slowly upgrade gear instead of binging it being done in three days, they are forcing you to keep your sub up for more than just the month of the patch.
