Because it's not worth the time spent there over a 96+ hour window when the chances of getting the mob are vastly reduced with FE/IB/TMO there, DA stall tanking, doing whatever it takes, 3am batphones, etc.

You are conveniently neglecting the fact that conditions here were very different than the norm. Stop pretending like you don't understand that other guilds want to make sure their time spent doing that sort of thing has a reasonable chance of being rewarded.

When it's a 1-in-2 chance against a guild that may or may not have the experience/strat to be successful with a sudden VS pop... those are good odds. FE/IB couldn't engage immediately because of the "can't kill for 2 hours if we were the last to kill it" rule, so both hardcore guilds were out of the picture for that spawn. Completely different scenario than before these last two weeks and you know it.

Add FE/IB and TMO into the mix who know all the tricks and having VS be a high-priority mob? Chances are our time is going to be for nothing.
