I don't like tiers (does anyone) for a couple reasons
T1 BNs which are usually new/less experienced can only bubble stuff, they are the ones required to take the first step. If it's something experimental or different, they have to put their views on the line to say "this is a rankable map", and it's only backed by their opinion.
On the other hand, if an experienced or respected bn bubbled an experimental map then fewer would judge his decision because he's more reliable/well known whatever.
Eg. If I passed the taiko bn test by fluke in a mode I'm unfamiliar with, I would probably prefer to qualify bubbled sets. Checking a bubbled set is safer as another bn has already said it was rankable, whereas modding non-bubbled it's harder for an unexperienced bn to judge rankability. This would lead to only putting bubbles on maps that are really safe/easy.
hey that sounds like the tier system situation
my two cents on why I think there's not as much interesting stuff ranked these days.
