also... Remember how easy it was to manipulate matchmaking in SRL?
People figured out that if you went all out every match you'd have trouble getting wins needed for the quest because you'd be up against even or better competition. However, if you made sure to finish last if you weren't going to win you ended up getting races you could win. For me that sometimes took 3 or 4 lasts in a row before getting a race I'd win easily, but it absolutely worked and was all over Reddit.
There was a very fast change in skill of opponents when you did this. I was never going to finish the quests until reading about this on Reddit.
They probably have similar logic going on with normal crucible.

Now I'm imagining a bunch of annoyed guardians competing with each other for last place, like "No, YOU cross the finish line." "No, YOU." "Look, I only need 1 more win, then I will come back and I promise to get 4th or lower for you." "NO DEAL."
