Because better gear makes crafting easier, faster, helps with quality increase, and helps with elemental stabilization. These things give more experience rewards and help you craft faster and with less breaks. Once again, the only people using "A level 1 tool on level 48" would be the same people using the system you mentioned, which (once again) would make crafting take 3x as long and cost 6x as much. Your logic is backwards... Yes, they could use shit gear if they want to "Zero Risk" synth, but like I said, there would be no benefit from using that method... as it would take way longer to level and cost much, much more.
