Binding Easter Eggs of Bahamut

People didn't like trash packs before a boss, they were just an uninteresting waste of the players time, and are especially frustrating when you wipe and have to clear the trash packs again to start your 30th pull.
SQEX listened and removed them.

Also from a design standpoint it's easier to balance a boss when you know everyone's resources start at their base state.

I'm not sure about the Binding Coil, but I'm pretty certain that defeated enemies in the Alexander raids stay dead if you wipe.

Clearing your way to the boss isn't that a waste of time, it is part of doing a raid.
There are times where a group can't even clear trash before get to the boss, so them mobs are part of the fight.

Happens everywhere, WoW too if I correctly recall my past.

Then, let's do coil at MIN IL and I hardly can call them "trash mobs"... I remember the "double tank sacrifice" to speedup coil 1!
