Why is the only way to get Grandmaster ready through the bonus power levels?

I am at 1338 power. All of my gear is 1320. In order to raise my power up further, I need to just get XP. Just any XP. So gear alone doesn't bring you close to the Grandmaster (or Master raid) level. Now I need to mindlessly grind bounties and run old content until I am bored to death and raise that power level up once or twice after an entire week. I need 700K. I just ran a gambit match and one strike. I got 25K after both of those. I NEED 700k! Is this a joke? This is what the game has turned into now? Gear doesn't get you to max level, or near max level? Now we have to mindlessly grind XP for hours and hours and raise this bonus power level in order to do the end game content? What the hell happened? This doesn't make me grind more. That is as boring as this boring ass game gets. This makes me quit and play other games. Good job Bungie.

    Why? Time-gating and restricting access. I think Datto got this one right. Bungie doesn't have any way of restricting access to content based on skill level. Because they don't have any reliable way of determining how "good" you are in PVE content. So they restrict it based on how much TIME you've invested in the game, since the more time you play the more likely you are to be good. Don't get me wrong. Its a BLUNT instrument...and not a very good indicator of skill. But I can see the predicament from Bungie's point of view.
