The constant disbanding of Steps of Faith

Shiva yes. But I think Ifrit HM and Titan HM are not within the MSQ, even if you need them.

If they're needed, they're part of the main scenario.

Players must first complete the main scenario quest "Let Us Cling Together," and have completed The Bowl of Embers (Hard), The Navel (Hard), and The Howling Eye (Hard).

You can't even do 2.5s main scenario quests without doing the original (Hard) mode Primals, let alone 2.55s. That effectively makes them part of the main scenario now, at least insofar as arguing about anything like a difficulty curve goes.

They are part of the Mainstory if a mainstory quest (those with the meteor icon) tell you to kill them. For now they (Garuda hard, Ifrit hard and Titan hard) are only required to be cleared, but not part of the mainstory itself.
Only at Moogle King the primal hardmodes begin to be also the primal storymodes.

Oh come on. While they are not part of the main story, they are still required to continue the main story. As a result they are part of the main story, even if it is "unofficially".

Isn't that exactly what happens if you haven't done them, though?

You get up to "Good Intentions", the meteor icon is red and locked out, and you're told to first go do Ifrit (Hard), etc..
