Adding in conjunction is a bad idea, as SE should be promoting players to participate in Coil while it's relevant, adding when Coil is no longer relevant, no problems with that. eg adding Coil 1 story mode in 2.4. Coil 2 story mode in 2.5 and the final part in 3.0.
Coil Story Mode most likely won't be released until 3.0 anyways.

As of now people are only guessing why they decided to introduce Coil Story Mode.

As for me I'm only assuming it is because of Bahamut and their plan to have Bahamut involed in a future Main Story Scenario that we won't understand unless we go through Binding Coil of Bahamut story and how Ascians did hint in 2.0 ending their plan is to bring back Bahamut so they can advance their plan to summon Zodiark.

or

maybe the new endgame dungeon in 3.0 may require players to complete Final Coil of Bahamut. However, that also only a guess.
