why is castrum and praetorium not an instance

Because you're beating a dead horse at this point. Actually, you're beating the dead horse's ashes, that's how often this complaint has come up in the past years. There's no point in complaining about anymore since it's not going to change those two dungeons. But it's a good thing that they still learned from those complaints, since this issue hasn't occurred ever since.
You're not wrong in wanting to have it changed, neither is SE wrong for not changing it, if they don't want to spend resources on it.

Never having used the party finder isn't a good reason, nor is deciding to not ask your friends just because they skip them.

And your assumption is wrong, I'm into the story part and ensured that I'd be able to enjoy CM/Prae to its fullest, by asking friends for help.

^ This. Ask your friends and fill out the rest with pf or low man it.

It's a VERY dead horse. People were complaining about the instance from like week 1 and then SE raged and tried to slow speed runners down repeatedly (mostly WP and AK) but they did some stuff like moving where some mobs patrolled in CM. That did nothing. People still complained and yeah... I think SE no longer gives a rat's ass and just makes sure not to repeat that ginoromous mistake.

Its just sad that the msq has been reduced to a speed run Im not worried about me but any new player that doesnt no about party finder or that may not have enough time to make friends is pretty much screwed , because se doesnt care enough to make a fix to literally some of the most important content in the game. But I guess its just not really a big deal.

Short version: WE KNOW! The exact same complaints you are making have already been done by countless other players before. The complaints are perfectly valid, but a waste of time. Any changes to Castrum/Praetorium at this point are extremely unlikely, so people are just telling you the best ways to get around it.
