Hidden Gorge is likely closed for this reason. When you allow parties to queue for PvP, some bad people will exploit it to bully single players. Those people aren't doing it for ranking or winning. They just want to be bullies and that took the motivation away from casual players.
Not being able to play with friends is a collateral damage.
i get it but i fell this only happens this due to the lack of players engaging in PvP, it became a loop where no one's engaged because they are being bullied so making queues long and the PvP community empty allowing the potential new PvP players being gated or disencouraged at all. But with EW and 6.1 they have a chance to change that, if there is a good amount of the community playing pvp even tho these premades group still exists the chances of them having the same impact diminishes considerably since you would be matched way less with them.

As right now majority of PvP is organized trough Discord. Also communication is a problem, of course we should not allow behaviors seen in WoW or League community but also being strict to premade generic comands isnt a solution there has to be a middle ground. Makes me feel that SE don't trust in the community they built nor in the system they developed.
