Very true, it’s clear people making the “level requirement only and not MSQ progression” argument are skipping the cut scenes because they are showing they don’t understand how the side quests/raids connect to the MSQ.Except that some of the side stories rely on MSQ progress because it can affect what state the characters are in.
Most notably, the Crystal Tower specifically involves Nero after his (and Gaius's) defeat at the Praetorium, and getting to that story too early would put him very out of place.
