Making it into an actual 24-man trial would have also likely meant a completely new battlefield and I wouldn't be surprised if they're too focused on Stormblood and wrapping up Heavensward to dedicate resources to an entirely new area just for a "fun" fight from the fan festival that was never intended to be included in the game or even be truly difficult.

However, as much as I hate it being in Dun Scaith due to it not only not fitting in with the theme but also because it seems like an incredible pushover, even for a trash pull, I can understand not making it into an actual trial for the fact it is 24 man with a weekly lockout and a token drop which would make it go dead real quick and filling spots for it would be near impossible within a month or two. I mean, look at how long Odin queues could and still can take since he offers so little.
I've been able to play devils advocate for a lot of things SE has done... but swapping out a trash mob for their new fight, something that is supposed to keep us busy for the next 3 months, is idiotic at best.
