That's exactly what Nexon wanted to stop: people getting to 100% PDR and then calling it a day.
With the new PDR formula, Nexon can effectively scale the 'difficulty' of a boss without directly modifying the already extremely bloated HP values. And, of course, they can make some money off people cubing/recubing gear for PDR--though I'm not sure if they implemented the new system to specifically milk money, or if the milking is happening as a side effect.
