Why? Because by the time you are all set and ready to pull, another more organized guild or raid group will have killed it fifteen minutes ago. At least under SK you can plan ahead, ensure numbers, raid composition etc and send out a tracker. This is why I called it a predetermined pug raid group.
Do I think a pug raid group would sign up for Suicide Kings, get their waiting week period done, roll in and then sit waiting for Voxx to pop her entire window? Probably not. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be given accommodation and chance to do so under the ruleset.
I loved pugging raids, I just think that they need to be incorporated into the system. "We're a pug we don't have to follow your rules" is a cop out, especially when they have just as much a chance as any other group under the proposal.

We need to keep in mind that pug raids only came into the scene during kunark, when the old classic stuff wasn't on perma-lockdown and many guilds simply bypassed targets like draco/maestro and sometimes inny/CT. I think pug raids should only be addressed when they actually prove a threat to the current guilds. I know that may sound like somewhat of a harsh statement, but I can't think of a single instance where a pug downed a raid target in the past 3-4 months.
