I could definitely see an argument for this and I wonder if they're test-driving more variable difficulty options with the Variant and Criterion dungeons. It felt a lot to me like they were test driving Duty Support with the Squadron. So they may be trying it in optional content first before seeing if they can integrate it into MSQ. And to gauge reception. Optional difficulty sliders for solo in the MSQ is a great idea. They would need to consider if it could work with random matching, if the slider was automatically set or such. Since having it go on each person's personal difficulty slider might make it difficult to fill the queue.
