This is the reason they make it time consuming.

A4S was broken in mechanics, and A3S was brutally difficult, balance is required in content when comparing similar Ilevels from different areas in content. Releasing a weapon with the same Ilevel as the Raid Weapon and it's simple to get compared to the Raid weapon will ruin the game for the majority of raiders. It will remove the whole point of even doing it.

Edit: The main reason why they moved the Raid weapons back to 5 Ilevels higher compared to highest weapons in the current content. Working down a Raid boss isn't as easy as it looks when you attempt to progress the final floors. Well, ignoring this current Raid patch (Except A8S) and Final Coil.
