I think the system was created to give a bit of prestige to the top crafters contributing to Ishgard via a leaderboard system. The "RNG" gamble will save you time and resources needed if you master the priority system with moderate luck on procs.

Also, it's an opt in system, so if you just want the items, you can take the guaranteed crafting route for a few less scrips at max craft.
