Easiest method is not always the best method. Why would one settle for the easiest way out if there is a better solution. I mean, the skins already exist in game for the giant snakes, they do not event need to make a new design. Just take the existing one and add that to an item (such as the egg I mentioned) to skin the pet snake just like you can with the battlepass snake skin and you have a BETTER solution. Is it easier? Potentially not, but still better and you will make more people satisfied. For one you will A). not piss off the people who already have the battlepass snake and have it get nerfed (everyone is already sick of their pets / thralls getting nerfed into the ground) and B). you will provide a better and equivalent snake option to the rest of the players as a base game option.
So you could go with your option and leave everyone pissed off because those who paid had better items (for a time) with no base game equivelent without providing others with an option to earn the same item AND you will piss off those who HAD the item which is now garbage in comparison to how it used to be. Which solution would you prefer as the end user? 
EDIT: And I would like to point out that I neither have any snake pets nor have unlocked the battlepass high enough to get the giant snake yet so I don’t care about the snake personally. I’m just pointing out that for someone who has not purchased the battlepass, or who might join the game just after this battlepass is over, there is no in game equivalent for them to possibly earn. Sure it might not look the same but that’s not the point. The look of the item is not the issue, that’s cosmetic. The statistics are what happen to be relevant here.
