If there wasn't a way to get to 31 this Raid would take much much longer to complete.
Bungie took a lot of grinding away from both current and new players with this move. Instead of having to wait every week for raid gear and mats to get to 32, one can easily amass vanguard marks and commendations when compared to raid grinding.
It is well known that a team of 6 30s has yet to complete the raid. 1 31 was required by the best clans/players who have beaten it.
That means for average players multiple 31s will be needed. Probably at least 2, but having 4 or more would make the final fight much easier.
By offering this gear for sale, it offers a short cut to beating this raid (when thinking about all the attempts you will need to get the raid gear and mats), and floods the community with higher level players making teammate searches quicker.

I am not sure I agree with taking away the grind. I started yesterday as a level 29 & now with 2 new pieces of legendary gear & my Raid gloves ,( recently acquired). I am now back to level 27 with a whole new grind ahead of me. I can switch back to 29 as & when but if you throw in daily stories are now 30 from 28 this still feels like a grind. Not sure that has been taken away. I certainly do not feel this is a short cut ! Sorry, not arguing with your logic as such just offering a personal perspective.

Nothing to apologize for! To each their own. I certainly agree that the grind is still there. My main thought process was the alternative options of armor selection. When trying to do the HM on VoG players were best suited by finding and maxing out all the raid's armor. This led a lot of players to hold off from buying relatively useless vendor armor. In the Dark Below both the raid's armor and vendor armor are good enough to level you up to the point where you can beat the entire raid without losing your mind. Yes, you have to grind marks and commendations for the vanguard armor but these are much easier to acquire than Radiant Shards. Also, I'm stacked with AE and AS so I need something to use them on haha. It could be as simple as that.

You make some good points so if you can just let me have some of those shards we are all good !

haha, I would if I could.
