If it takes hours to defeat really hard bosses all the way from ARR to EW, it would make it even more daunting to go through the MSQ than it already is. Add queue times to that as well. The quicker SE gets people through old fights the better it is for feeling like getting through the MSQ is actually possible.

The truth is that people like to win. By making it easy to win, SE makes the maximum amount of people win that they can, which is good for them because people who win feel happy. There have always been a lot of sprouts that are really happy to have beaten a trial or story duty, even though many of us on the forums find them ridiculously easy, sprouts haven't played the game for years, they aren't used to it in the same way, haven't optimized it and probably lack gear and food and other benefits we know that we can take into them.
