SoF Tier 2 armor can be further upgraded to a higher level, one that requires lvl 80 to even wear. And LGuk has been revamped for lvl 80 toons. How is a lvl 70 supposed to group in that zone to get these pieces of equipment that are around for ONE month and ONE month only? And before someone asks the question... Why would a lvl 70 even be in the zone.. ask yourselves what lvl is most folks going to be if they left BEFORE TSS? Or What if they left BEFORE SoF so are only 75? The drops from LGuk gives returning players a chance to gear up enough to be able to survive in the SoF zones where the Tier 2 SoF armors drop that can be Upgraded into versions that put the new drops to shame. And since the new drops are not upgradeable, they can only be used as a stopgap to the SoF armor. And yes, I know that a lvl 70 toon wouldnt be able to even wear the drops from LGuk, but that is what RoI is for with it's XP boost.
So in "theory" making the stuff attunable means that if someone can loot a BP or a legging for a friend that he knows could use the armor but is not on and can give it to him later helps that returning player. But if someone has to be on and in zone and at camp just to get the drop, it defeats the purpose.
