Which it's easy to see why they would want to encourage players to stick to a single covenant, if players swapped every week not only would it be a disjarring experience for them, but the catch up mechanic wouldn't have helped them much at the start of the expansion either.
Also, your weird attempt at ad hominems (Because using a word twice properly is "liking it so much"?) aside, they also never said anything about being "impossible to switch covenants that easily". No idea where you're getting that idea from.
They did, however, near the start of the expansion say they can't unbundle the covenants into just being cosmetics, that there was no ripcord to remove that.
