PuGs want a fast and easy clear and its the RL that decides what req he thinks is needed to clear ToT without a lot of wipes, Also if you keep getting denied from having to little progress you are probably aiming too high. There is plenty of people just like you that wants to go into ToT normal and just clear a few bosses with some wipes and then once you cleared maybe first 5 bosses in worse pugs you can aim for the better ones, If I am doing a PuG and someone tells me they have killed the first two bosses know tactics for rest and have decent gear I would invite them even if the exp is low but if someone comes to me expecting to be boosted 12/12 normal without any exp I would much rather wait until someones who has a 12/12 achi wants to join
