I do think that current Savage is being killed too quickly, since what SE said back when Savage was first introduced in 3.0 was that since people wanted to experience the story without stressing out, they would get normal mode raids instead for that.
Savage was meant to be something that requires effort and dedication to clear, and that not everyone can aim to clear. And that's how we got Gordias, and Midas after that.

Then apparently people weren't satisfied anymore with just clearing the normal mode raids and also wanted to take on the challenge of Savage and clear it, so raids were made easier as a result to accomodate those players.

Now we've got Ultimate as well, which is the real challenge for those who seek one, but Savage doesn't really prepare people for it because of the disparity in difficulty.
And my fear is that Ultimate itself is going to be tuned down as a result, since the next step is for people to start complaining that they want to clear Ultimate as well, and want it to be made easier. And so the cycle will repeat itself.
