You also completely misunderstood the concept of the star difficulty rating. It isn't something you "progress through and leave" like relic steps, it's designed for players of differing skill levels. It means that as a skilled player one doesn't need to do 1 star, they can do 3 or 4 star, have more fun, and still be progressing their relic.

It means that a player like you (please do not take offense) would likely stick with DF and 1 star to grind out your relic. Quite literally nothing would change for you. You are the majority and plenty of people would be queuing to empower their relic weapon.
But the challenge still is gating. PotD is a perfect example of what you're talking about. DF floors 1-100 but have to do a premade to go beyond. So for someone like me PotD has become a snooze fest. I can netflix and chill while running it, it is so brain dead. That is what a 1 star would devolve into. Players would eventually abandon the content once they get too a point they steamroll the rest.

Just because I don't raid doesn't mean I don't keep current on my ilvl and I know I am not the only one. So as the patch grows no matter what happens someone will be left out following your model. The only way to ensure it would stay that way is to follow the PotD model where gear inside is independent of gear outside.
