Please consider changing the role of normal mode Alexander in future patches

Honest Question.

Is the incentive of gear the reason why this issue is coming up now, when no one said a word about the "wow factor" in Second Coil of Bahamut (Savage)?

A good question too. I think the difference here is that second coil, at its release, was still really difficult. Very few people even beat regular second coil, let alone savage. The difference now is that "non-savage" is a total joke, more akin to a story mode trial than an actual raid. Also, second coil provided no gear, and you didn't NEED to do it to do final coil (I'm assuming that people will need the gear from Alex savage to proceed to 'second alex savage' if not need the completion itself. Much like how you needed to complete T9 to proceed to T10).

Also, second coil provided no gear

Excuse me?
Turn 1 belts, boots, gloves and accessories
Turn 2 - head, chest, pants, gloves, accessories
Turn 3 - The same but various classes
Turn 4 - Weapons

So Second Coil most certainly did/does drop level apropriate gear. In fact so do the three Crystal Tower raids. So does every main story dungeon.

I think s/he meant Savage Second Coil.
