The reason being irrational, and it being one you disagree with, are completely different things. Almost every game out there has increasing levels of difficulty. Or do you think that way back when, people who couldn't clear Garuda HM should've been allowed to go into Garuda EX? (using the old primals since that's the only example I can think of in this game of content having more tiers than the story-then-optional)
If you can't clear Garuda HM, you have no business being in Garuda EX. It's that simple. And if you can clear Garuda EX, you can clear Garuda HM so where's the problem? Same here. Way back when iirc some Primal Ex fights were locked behind you also clearing other Primal Ex fights. They have since changed that, but the original logic was solid, imo, as the fights increase in difficulty. It's no longer relevant between power creep and unsyncing, but it's not like this was never done before in this game, either.
