From 49-50, you needed about 4-5 dungeon runs of AV, full clears with EXP bonuses, to get to 50.
So yeah if you finish all the MSQs and don't dawdle around with other content, you'll get MAYBE level 51 or 52, which is fine and just gives you a little bonus leg up on the expansion content to counter the fact that the people who finished it are decked out in gear that likely won't be replaced until 60 dungeon/raid content.
Has it never occurred to you that there are players who actually want to play the game? Not everyone wants to blitz through everything and skip every piece they can get away with. It's the players who will be doing everything that exists at level 50 who have the problem and need to be able to stay 50 for a while before unlocking the level cap increase.
