I never kept track on it being people asking for it to be harder but I somehow vaguely remember Ultimate was were devs go ham on mechanics and push the game to the limit while making it still possible.
I don't think it's necessarily people asking for it to be harder but instead them noticing how fast people clear previous high end content (or not) and then creating new content with that in mind, imagine a crazy world in that the community had cleared TEA in one day (crazy i know), wouldn't they then just go even crazier on difficulty than what we have now if that had happened? That's my view on it.
