This is a common way for FM to increase the difficulty on Special Events. This has been the case for many, many Special Events before and likely will for many to come.

I think I recall even in the very first Special Event ever, Road to Le Mans, there were stages that required no assists (and even Tilt B). As I was still new in the game at the time (relatively so), it was tough for me, and the Le Mans track was new as well. I recall having a really tough time with it and I was even pushing to the last 30mins of the event in order to win it. Overall, it's a good skill to learn and to practice in the career. It will make you a better and faster driver, that's for sure.

However, It's not going away any time soon, I can tell you that.
