Because they want to get their reward and get out as fast as possible from content they've already done dozens if not hundreds of times. Challenge has disappeared once you've done the content enough times.

Good job bringing up BLU because that's the best possible example of why skill sync is needed since BLU has no skill sync in any content.

It's okay for them to make that choice for themselves. It's not okay for them to make that choice for other players, especially when that's going to ruin the experience for new players doing the content for the first time. Most players like to feel their contribution means something when first doing the content. It's only once they've repeated it several times that they stop caring.

Low level content isn't there for your benefit. It's there for the benefit of players who are leveling and learning. Don't like the skill sync? Don't queue for low level content or roulettes that can put you into low level content. They don't offer any rewards that you can't get doing max level content outside of the dungeon specific gear and if you're after that, you're probably going to run it unsynced for speed repeats anyway. Stick to the Level 80 and Expert Roulettes.
