Indeed it was, but just think about the structure of SAO vol.1, and tell me how you would fit RNR in there.
For better or worse, it's about floor 74-75, you can't really jam RNR in without both disrupting the flow of the story AND lessen the impact of RNR, which IMO had an extremely effective ending to it by having it end with Sachi's letter(and picture of Kirito burying his head on the desk).
