Because if that's mostly it [sandbagging], there is little reason to include Open players.
The weighting of more recent results higher than those of results further in the past provides a nice incentive for tournament attendance for those Open players vainglorious enough to seek to improve their position in the rankings, and I don't think I'm going too far out on a limb to suggest that there are some egos among the Open crowd. In fact I think ego is what causes the vast majority of players to move from Advanced to Open on their own volition. Nobody cares who wins the Advanced division.
