Then again, the story writer has to make sure there are enough Trust standing in front of the Trials' portals to fill 7 party member slots for a story-mode trial, restricting the flow of the story.

If you suggest Trust for Avatar mode where you have all members available are not restricted by the story, sure, but what is the point? You can only get Avatar Mode of something after complete it, nullify the need of being able to do Trial with Trust, and sound like extra work for nothing for developers. Assuming you use Trust to learn trials' mechanic, I'm not sure how learning trials' normal mechanic will be a lot helpful for extreme version.
That is true, 7 designated story characters are kind of a stretch which I didn't think about.
