Apparently Yoshi-P thinks larger scale savage content is easier to get in to

Savage is jus a term for harder raids, especially now that we have Ultimate.

With that said, why would it be a problem if it were easier than normal 8-player Savage? I don't think the devs are trying to replace regular Savage content as the main hard difficulty mode. If the OP is correct about it potentially being closer to Extreme difficulty, that should be perfect for so called "midcore" players.

Because those that want it to be savage will have fights that are bascially just ex fights while getting nothing but maybe one Ultimate. If they then are bored of this fight then who will run it with the midcore people? Look at the amount of normal savage clears. This game is bascially mainly for casuals (which is fine, I am kinda one myself..at least when its about beating harder content). So for them it will be even more horrible to even try to get a clear because they dont have statics, they probably dont have discord groups or anything like that too. Good luck for the more casual player to find so many other people that are willing and able to try these fights out. And if its not for casual players and the raiders are done with it, who will then be left to try it with the more midcore group?

Smaller fights might still not be for the casuals crowd but they are much better imo for the raiders and even for those midcore groups. I for example have no time for raiding. Yet me and a friend try to clear quite a bit of the older savage stuff unsynch which might not be as awesome as it was when it was current content but it still felt absolutely nice to duo clear A12S. We also still plan to clear the deep dungeons as a duo and maybe one day I will get the solo clear too. If we had content with four people then I could see us trying it too because getting two other people is quite possible.
