Because the main blasphemies have already turned, and the presence of the main ones can still turn people into lesser blasphemies. Side quests technically happen when they unlock, not when you actually do them. Otherwise no one could go into Heavensward without first completing the ARR dragoon quests, which introduce Estinien and the Eye.
