So why can't I have pre nerf pets?

This means that while content will be unlocked progressively to allow for each raid tier to shine, systems such as class design, battleground mechanics, and stats on existing items will all be set to their final 1.12 conditions. That should take the pressure off players to be constantly figuring out what we might do next to remain exactly in line with how the game once played out, and we can all focus a little more on community building and enjoying the experience together.

Because we’re getting the systems due to the fact that Blizzard simply doesn’t have pre-1.12 data and doesn’t want to manually rebalance.
