There really isn't a contradiction. Except that it can be difficult for most players to grasp that some people willingly contribute without much regard for personal benefit. I know this is crazy weird, but I still run daily roulettes even after capping my tomes.
How about this, it is a time gate for players who want to run the hardest content and get BiS. It's great that you don't feel gated by it but I imagine a good part of the playerbase does because it is part of the reason it can take 2 months to get BiS on one role. As for encouraging helping the community, I guess I am helping by running my 5 expert roulettes and nothing else to cap my tomestones.
