XD why is that a problem?
I never gave it much thought
Because it's unfair for leaders to have Pokemon at a lower level than they should be. It's like fighting a Dragonite in Route 1, your Pokemon won't be strong enough to take on something that unfairly strong at that point in the game.
And the problem with Lumios Badlands is there's wind blowing and if you try and walk/run/skate against the wind you'll move slower but the wild pokemon aren't affected by wind resistance so while you're moving at the speed of molasses flowing uphil in July, the wild pokemon will almost always catch up to you, also 2 of the wild pokemon that can be found (Trapinch and Diglett) have Arena Trap so you can't just run away from fights.
