Because modern mmo players are very impatient, and the dungeons need to be able to be hurried through. People don't play the games to enjoy playing the games anymore; they play for the 'end game.' The rest of the stuff only matters because they have to do it to optimize their end game play. I'm honestly surprised there isn't an MMO called 'End Game The MMO' that starts everybody at max level with 'raid ready' gear and that consists of only 'raids' with no story or plot or any of that superfluous stuff that just gets in the way of grinding raids.
