No offence, but why is it any of your business what people want to do? Multiple valid reasons have been given as to why this change benefits the game, and so far there have been no valid reasons as to why it harms the game other than "OMG you don't have to do savage immediately", which you are further perpetuating.
It arbitrarily delays the release of content that's already ready to be released, forcing everyone who was ready/willing to run it now to have to wait longer.

There's your reason.
