Because the OP wants to tie the medal to more tangible rewards. Human nature would make people not feel good if they're shown (or think) to be hindered from reaching their goal by someone else.

Maybe, but seeing as you get a chance every time you get an eligible roulette the loss isn't that great, and while people like to focus on the worst thing that can happen, I.E. the community breaks down and starts insulting each and blaming each other (Something that already happens still) I think, and am a bit confident, that the majority of people would be more willing to communicate, and put up a group effort so that everyone does well.

I think if we can put ourselves in that situation, lets say a Nier raid at the moment, and I really wanted that medal. If I see someone dying I'd let them know what the mechanics do, make sure to answer any questions they have and encourage other people to do great so we can get them. Overall increasing the social aspect and performance of the group as a whole, that is something uplifting. And I think the majority of people would behave this way. Rather than purely negative, which some few regrettably do, and they resort to blaming and accusation regardless of a reward or not.

Is the game we want to play really designed around and for those that won't be happy no matter what? That will find the negative in everything we do? I'd care to say no, That is what the disciplinary tools are there for, Vote kicking, GM reports, etc. Not the game and raid design... That should be guiding, encouraging and challenging us to do better.
