This is all conspiratorial, and shows no proof of them making crafting easier for bag space reasons.

People are still having random HQ ingredients pop into their bags as they gather for themselves, some people feel safer with a certain % to start a craft off with, etc. Aside from those that have the gear and know-how to use full NQ mats... which is probably a small number, SE's net gain on server resources is minimal.

If they wanted to ease their servers and allot for more bag space by eliminating the need for HQ materials, they would have scrapped the ability to gather HQ items from new nodes at the start of the xpack. This is either intended to get more people crafting or was an 'oversight' when trying to add cool new abilities.
