LOTRO: Why must crafting take so long?

I spent this afternoon questing in the Lone Lands, and after a while I had accumulated lots of gems to polish. I went back to a nearby encampment to polish them and found that I had 25 rubies, so I pressed the make all button and spent the next few minutes watching a bar fill up 25 times. It got me wondering why MMOs do this as part of the crafting. I can understand it maybe taking a little time to craft a finished product, but it seems totally unnecessary and time consuming for raw materials that the player might have a lot of. Nothing is really gained by making a player wait.
