When you say a title is reserved only for “elite” players, but then open it up to “less elite” players, it’s difficult to make a plausible claim it’s only for elite players. And then when you sell offers providing the means to get that title even to “less less elite” players, then you’ve more or less confirmed the target for your title is a good bit broader than only the true “elite.”
Owning multiple R3 champs is a much harder slog than a single R3 obviously—it’s much less likely to be something you can buy without also doing Map 7, Abyss, 100% Act 6, all variants (although I’m sure there are some who do all those things and still buy every T5c offer that comes around).
With a little gameplay, a “less less elite” player can buy enough deals to form a single T5c. Buying three or more is pretty much impossible in today’s game without also finishing difficult content.
Once the game watered down TB requirements—and made the hardest part of meeting them a single catalyst that can be bought—there’s really not a plausible argument that players who lack multiple R3’s aren’t part of the TB audience (although the poster above maintains that’s still the case in what I hope for his sake is a bad example of Google translate).
What drove the team’s decision to change TB requirements? That’s the anecdotal conversation I’d like to hear.
And all of that makes this instance a little different. Previous hard to come by catalysts never specifically carried this progressional element with them. Certainly, having a higher ranked champ might make Act 5 or 6.1 a bit easier, but that rankup wasn’t the primary gate to a progression title.

I believe strongly the timing on the introduction of thronebreaker was monetarily based.... but it doesn't really matter. If we operate under the assumption the above statement is true than to me its only logical. You spend to save time. If someone wants it now...spend (either cash or time) to get it. That's how progression games work...everywhere.
In the end, the requirements are what they are. And whether easier or rng based or *gasp* able to be bought... none of that really matters either. Time or money. The player decides. And that's really what all the previous offers were too when you really boil it down. Just because something may not directly tie into progression, doesn't mean it had nothing to do with progression. Depth of roster has always been associated with progression however loosely.
Basically, it’s like Cavs are stuck at a lower ante table with a decent chunk of the rabble while others have been invited to the more exclusive, higher ante table. But it’s all still the same casino.

If you want the rewards put in the work. It pays off.
