You know you can "check in" to a Ryanair flight up to a month beforehand?
Basically this is them being hamstrung by the way traditional airlines have run things. Boarding passes are irrelevant to the way Ryanair works. Their tickets/boarding passes are like bus tickets. You buy one and then you use it to get on the plane. The whole "check in" thing is a holdover from a different business model.
All part of the European model of "innovation by permission".
