Even if you don't have any BLU to run it with, it's still one of the faster dungeons available for that purpose and this goes doubly so when the tower climb isn't available to earn Tomes from.

I'd bet you a good deal of money that this change was made because enough people complained about not understanding Coincutter's mechanics whilst doing said grind. Particularly players who skipped the ARR Fate train experience and thus never got to face off with a few of the other early game Cyclops enemies this game has to offer. The change is so odd, so late, and yet so specific that I can't imagine there wasn't a deluge of complaints behind it.
Oh I don't doubt that, either that or they expect a huge influx of new Trial players and this has been a common complaint for years. Either way, it's AV so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
