Take a look at the videos on YouTube. For the vast majority, the players aren't displaying any skill at all in killing bosses. They have the items and build to make themselves immune (or near as darnit) to whatever the boss is doing. So they just run straight into the middle of the bosses and swing away until the bosses die - without taking a scratch themselves.
You will see many videos in which melee toons stand right in Typhon's meteors, yet take no damage. They're also not taking any damage from Typhon's melee attacks, due to massive DA. Does it take a great deal of skill to kill a boss when most or all of his attacks can't hurt you? Not really.
With 100% CAP, you can walk into a custom map room filled with 200 Legendary Machae Grandmaster archers, stand still in the centre of the room - and not take one HP of damage. Does it take huge skill to kill them all without dying yourself? No. Would it take skill to kill them all if they had double the number of HP, did double the damage, and had 70% resists to whatever damage you were doing? No. It would just take longer, that's all.

They do already. Demons use Phantom Strike, Harpies use Squall, skeleton mages use Deathchill, The Night's Mistress uses Spell Breaker/Spell Shock, and so on.
Still, I'd love to see the reaction when you enter an area of patched Maenads, the sorcerers stun-lock you with -100% recharge on their Lightning Bolt while the poison spear guys just wear you down and kill you while you're helpless. Any patch coder who implemented that would have to change his identity and go and live in Mexico, to escape the vengeful hordes of righteously indignant vets that would be after him.
Similarly, how cool would it be to take your l33t bow Brigand/Ranger/Haruspex into the patched Hades chamber, and discover that he has 100% CAP?
