Look at it this way, is there any meaningful difficulty difference in clearing a Savage tier 8 times in a row, or 8 times spaced across 8 weeks? you did the same actions, there was just some arbitrary time gate.
Without timegating there would be horrendous expectations placed on players. Want to do M2S? I hope you farmed M1 until you got all your gear from it first, repeat until end of tier. This would suck all the fun out of week 1 raiding.
