    The simple fact of the matter is that they would have to be in a specific "8 player raid" roulette. If you put both 8 player raids and 24 player raids in the same roulette, then the only ones players will get are the 8 player raids. More so, while a lot of people have cleared the 24 player raids, very few people have cleared any 8 player raids. I myself haven't gone back and cleared the coils yet due to them not offering me anything beyond a story, and the difficulty of getting a full raid group for even current content that has actual rewards. More so, I'd be surprised if the Alex NM has as many people who've cleared it as even Void Ark will have within a few weeks, simply because it's not only designed to be more challenging but also has a less rewarding loot lockout. I can say with certainty that a significant portion of the players on my friends list haven't cleared Alex NM. The bottom line is that there simply isn't enough of a clear rate on players to warrant an 8 player raid roulette, and putting those in as requirements along with the 24 player raids would simply keep the majority of the player base from unlocking that roulette, which would defeat the purpose. Again, having them in the same roulette would also make it so that the 8 player raids were more or less the only content you would get, unless you simply happened to get lucky.....

    Unfortunately not that many people want to even attempt t5. More so because the mass amount of instant kill mechanics. Someone being just a bit behind or ahead of the group on dive bombs can still kill everyone. Even the tornados are still a bit up in the air no pun intended. T9 really has aged a lot better then the early coil, so if they were to add raid roulette I think they would have to alter the way t5 functions.
