Worse tuning of raids, giving an advantage to people who are the last who ought to actually need it.

Parties refusing to recruit anyone that isn't last tier BiS.

Takes away a fun week 1 crafter/raider interaction that is basically a tradition and gives value to crafting.

This is an excuse given by people who are not actually interested in difficult content, but wish to save face by acting like it is in some way beneath them or not worth their time. I have never met someone truly inclined towards savage raiding for whom this was a legitimate concern. It also definitely is not a common sentiment, and I say that as someone who constantly helps bring new players into difficult content.
