This is an MMO, meaning there's literally hundreds of other role-players to consider for potential interaction. No role-player is deserving of being given the right to claim that their character is somehow much more powerful than everyone else's and has numerous feats reserved for faceless/nameless heroes in the canon lore under their own belt.
Sure, they can be revived but bringing them back is a lengthy and usually quite a costly ritual for their worshippers and servants. Their emergence is seemingly quite rare judging by the main story. It's perfectly possible to tell a compelling story and gain vengeance on a 'big bad' without being the hero of the hour.
I don't agree with the "they can be re-summoned" excuse either.

Also, from a Lore perspective, Summoners can only summon the Egi of primals that they've bested in combat. Unless you're practically willing to write a whole Job into practical extinction, we're going to have to find some way to make it work.
I think it's explained that we're not fighting "THE" primal, just a physical/aetheric manifestation of the Primal. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that everyone who wants to have defeated a primal IC, can find a way to have defeated a primal IC.
