It's absolutely this. There's 24 people in an Alliance Raid and not only do they need to have done something other than CT just for it to maybe not be CT, but they need to have done the same one. Tataru's Grand Endeavor I think tried to fix this by making Shadow of Mhach a requirement and you know what? I see it more than NieR and certainly more than Ivalice nowadays. Not CT levels, mind, but not awful.
