There is an argument that it will be easier with time, when people get the zone gear upgraded, but did you look at the cost needed for that? Most player won't do it, and we all know how it will turn out : people without the gear will be gated out. I feel they should have gone the Delubrum Reginae way, with one Normal and one higher difficulty. Especially since there are hints part 2 will be gated behind the fork tower (Fork tower is central in the story, I don't see how they can continue the story without people clearing it).
Unless it was translated wrong, they said in the live letter that it isn't necessary to the story. In fact Forked Tower doesn't seem to have any story, it's just a thing that is there, challenge content for people who want challenge content (and who have a high tolerance for the BS entry requirements). I don't like the way it was implemented but I don't think anyone will ever be required to do it
