You already know why they do it. There's a constant influx of new players. These players need ARR content done, ensuring that there's always a section of veteran players doing the roulettes ensures that this ancient content doesn't become a stone wall for new players. Now if you're speaking of things like Relics and such, I assume the reasons are similar, but I can definitely understand that you don't want to be forced to farm say.. PotD or Crystal Tower to get things for Shadowbringers content.
