Who are raid races designed for? Why should I care one bit about watching the same streamers play another raid race? Who cares? Maybe if the raids were actually fun for the usual clan and gamer instead of the 0.0001% of top players. Most I talk to won’t even try the regular version let alone Epic. Bungie continues this same old pattern.
Where is the guided mode like Rite of the Nine Explorer? Stop catering to the top 5 teams and maybe people will come back to play.
Edit: to be more constructive..
New - listen to the players, not the streamers.
Old - Who is making design decisions for your company? They should be fired.

Raid races are basically unofficial early access events for everyone before their official release on the following Tuesday. Your question of who they're for is equivalent to asking who the Olympics (or other tournament) are for.
