To be honest, I don’t think people who do it for the loot will ever be the world’s first.
On the other hand, it would be ridiculous for them to introduce ascended crafting one day, then two weeks later release a shortcut to let you bypass it all. If you want to acquire ascended items this way, wait for the optimal strategy to come out, then farm it everyday.

You do realize that EVERY other piece of gear in the game can be had multiple ways right? Hell, you don’t even need to craft a legendary if you just farm the gold. What seems ridiculous to you is exactly what this game had at launch: many different ways to get the best gear. I see absolutely no reason why Anet wouldn’t increase the chance of ascended chests dropping from the only challenging large group fight in the game.
It does drop from Tequatl. It is already a viable way to acquire ascended weapons. What are you arguing about?
