Why can boss fights be started while first-timers are watching the cutscene?

[RyuRoots]

If anything it effectively challenges what you've been saying.

Cutting 33% of the time means you can achieve the same number tasks in 40 minutes rather than 1 hour. For a simple example, it means the difference between 112 lights instead of 160 over the span of one Garuda window.

It adds up with every.single.delay.

Fine. That's 20 more minutes. Or almost 50 lights. Big deal. So no, it's not challenging anything. People need to take their ADHD medication.
