Last I checked, except for maybe Quillmane, everything else you mention has no variance, you know when the PH or named will spawn, and you can set a timer for it.
You're also not competing for FTE since you "own" that camp, so you will get that kill as a reward for your time when it finally spawns. Pretty sure if you were at the pained soul camp in TT for 8 hours, it finally spawned, and someone nicked it from you... you'd have a problem with that.
These things also don't require 15+ of your buddies camping out their mains nearby and you hope they all log in before the opposing guilds get their forces ready. All of those collective man hours lost if your guild's javelin wasn't fast enough.
So yeah, two drastically different situations with drastically different stakes the way the raid scene works currently.

It doesn't matter if there's no variance. You're doing something time consuming and monotonous. You have to pay somewhat attention, you don't know when the mob will appear. In terms of time and effort put in by the tracker it's exactly the same thing. How is FTE a consideration at all? Your guild does not enable you to jav quicker or farm DA idols.
If big guilds can camp at multiple targets, small guilds can camp at 1 target if they want it. See what Taken is doing with Inny. I bet most of your guild has more raid level characters than I do.
I like you and I agree with a lot of your posts, but I simply disagree with you on this. You said guilds don't want to track targets and answer batphones, but it's really not that much to ask from people who play this game. Nobody has to answer 3 am batphones. That's why you have 100+ people on a batphone. The people who are awake or in other timezones, or just don't give a shit can answer. The people who are sleeping can sleep if they want to. If you want a target, you will track it and drop this mindset that you're somehow above tracking. The only mob that actually gets "poopsocked" is VS.
