1. consider them older version of regular monsters, veterans in survival and thus being better equipped for survival, doesn't necessarily mean that the young ones would die out because that would make the whole species die out

2. because a big part of the game is the armor sets and having to slap a backpack and a large weapon on every set of armor would be ridiculous - i wouldn't say the guild balloon because of the moga free hunt

3. each weapon is different and it would be difficult to explain the different ones, easiest to explain are qurupeco hammers flint discharging a flame, rathalos hammer having a flame sack in the mouth, ludroth weapons being filled with water (being spongy), but sacs dont need to only work when the monster is alive though one could wonder how there's a seemingly endless supply of sac fluid to use with weapon attacks

4. i dont think they heal that fast
