It's still just as weird. It still doesn't make sense, no matter which resource they fall short on. Be it money, time or employees.
Same reason we have Ultimate : Hard content creates publicity and community effervescence, be it because of organizing stuff or just following along. When Bozja came out at first, people complained about the lack of hard content à la Baldesion. And that Castrum was a snoozefest.
So it feels reasonable for them to have the whole zone and CE for casual enjoyment, and Forked Tower for more hardcore people.
The best solution is a normal and savage mode of course, but choosing between the two, I suppose it made more sense to give player a hardcore part for the island exploration.
