It's meant as a grace bypass. Any vet who meet the requirement can just clear it like they normally so while those who don't will pay a small price of convenience. (And those still can't handle it, maybe they shouldn't be attempting the quest to begin with.) I don't see why 'casual' like yourself would complain about it when the game already has so few catch up measures for weaker players.
