That only makes sense in an environment where the goal is to maximize productivity. It makes no sense in a pay-to-play subscription-based game. I'm sad that this has to be repeated so frequently in this day and age. Content is designed to be easy because succeeding at it is fun for most players. The masochists who think that content is only fun when you had to spend weeks beating your head against a single boss before finally being able to beat it are in the minority. Basically, bosses are going to remain easy for the same reason that buying a losing lottery ticket at the gold saucer is still paying out at 5-1. Players like to win, and since SE wants them to continue playing, they give the players what they want.
Fun is subjective.
What's not fun for you, could be fun for others. People have different interests in games, surprise.
