You see, difficult grinds, challanges, etc have reasons to exist aside from wasting time. Yes it IS wasting time, that's the point of games in a fashion.
But it also gives your RPG structure, allows players to have, albeit virtual, value for achievements and items.
I don't remember the high level gear I've got in BFA from M+
I remember even green items that I had luck with or I had to use them for a longer peiord or have any other history with them. (In fact I have at least one such item on my main since 2005)
Catch-up mechanics were introduced since a while and having players catch up was something guilds and players did back then. It was a good way of building some community (the fresh guild member would interact with veterans during catch-up runs)
And later on there were of course simplifications as patches went by so to have a condensed version of said content, still itneresting but not too long.
Offering a way to paid-skip it is just straight betraying that it's shit now, Blizzard doesn't care, you are right in that it's all there to gatekeep and for Blizzard to profit.
Back when level boost was introduced I was certain that at that price tag it was only there for exceptional circumstances, like an option for a rare occasion.
But now I'm pretty sure it's just another rip-off.
