Anyone with the kind of gear required to kill those bosses can afford a 2x drop card and wolf underling familiar. Greed pendant and family drop buff are free. That's about 5x right there (I'm not sure which stack additively and which multiply)
By keeping the base drop rate low, Nexon keeps the in-game supply of end-game gear under control, while keeping its biggest spenders happy that their investment (in cubes for drop rate accessories, as well as 2x drop cards) is paying off.
Asking "Why would anyone kill it without drop multipliers" isn't a very valid (or relevant) question. But, your answer does prove my point - Nexon only has it like this because they earn money from it. I mean, why equalize the boss drops for everyone and make the drop fair for everyone when you can just leave it as is with drop multipliers in the cash shop, because people will buy them anyway to get the most out of their run.
By keeping the base drop low, Nexon falsely keeps the in-game supply lower than it should be without drop multipliers and normal with drop multipliers. So basically, make the drop rate unaffected by drop bonuses, but buff it to where it's in line to the current average drop rate people use on them.
