I believe they did that on purpose. They don't want it being a substitute for any gear, because of the fact that people were doing just that.

Also, I don't know if you were around for the i55 gear, but you couldn't max-meld the NQ versions of those either. Perhaps it's just a matter of time and we have to wait for artisan 2.0 (or I guess 3.0?) where we'll have easier meld caps (and hopefully not requiring any tier V overmelds) ?
