The time you spend reclearing is time you can't spend on progging the last boss; it's a timesink that keeps raiders busy for longer because you usually lose at least 1 evening per week on reclears, in more chaotic statics more.
And it also means that by having to them in order, the PF raiding scene is kept alive for the lower floors because forfeiting loot by skipping to a higher turn is a hefty loss until you're approaching bis and people generally don't want to do that.
It's entirely intentional and I can't even fault the devs for doing it. There is the option to skip if it's really important for a group to only prog a specific boss; whether it's worth the cost or not is up to them to decide.
