Maker's Mark is obnoxious at high difficulty and should be adjusted ASAP

[Texa]

It is likely Square Enix took that into account and therefore made the Lv70 2* Culinarian recipes all the same difficulty as opposed to the other class' specialist recipes having such a high difficulty in comparison.

I'm kind of getting the impression that you're looking for reasons to nitpick me specifically over something that is kind of subjective because the forums are so dead during this time of the day.

The two star weapons and the two star food have the same difficulty, 3543. It's the new crafter gear and tools that have the really high difficulty of 6377.
