Weekly Lockout on normal Raids necessary?

So? Didn't Yoshi-P himself say that we should take breaks and play other games? The vast majority of people won't grind things out instantly and I see no reason to stop the very small minority that would.

This is why context matters. He didn't say it in the context of blowing through content for a couple weeks then disappearing until the next content patch. It was to dispel the idea of spending too much time in game being a good thing.
