Different people have different ideas of what's "efficient", or what they want to do with their time.

The story is a big draw for me, and being able to replay a particular part without raising a second character all the way to that point in the game (or paying to get them there) is a huge plus.

There are arguments for and against including rewards in NG+, and they've come down in favour of making it just for those who actually want to re-experience the story.
