SE isn't going to be able to please everyone with every piece of content.

As for SE only requiring level 50 of PotD while not requiring level 30 HoH for the Allagan connection, I suspect it's because the vast majority of players who enjoy Deep Dungeon have automatically dipped their toes into HoH at some point.
I believe the commentary translation suggested POTD would be like a tutorial for those entering DD. I think it's a good idea for new people to try out DD elsewhere before jumping into this or HoH.
