Dude...That dungeon has over an hours worth of cutscenes. NO ONE would be willing to sit through MGS4 length cutscenes just so a newb can enjoy the story. If they removed the ability to skip cutscenes you would never be able to run it because no one who has beaten it already or even people who don't care about the story, don't want to sit there for an hour just because its babies first time running the dungeon.
