It doesn't need to be, no.
But if you're someone who plays Bioware's games because you think they make the best single player RPGs (still a position I hold) it's hard not to be resentful of them putting content that has RP value behind a wall of MP participation that you had, have, and will continue to have, no interest in. Especially when that very action is so fraught with bad memories (ME3 war assets).
Again, I think using the MP to progress certain things in the SP is a fine idea, as long as you're able to progress in things in SP to the same extent by doing SP things as well. I think you should be able to get this from killing dragons in MP. You just need to be able to get it from killing dragons in SP as well.
That's the situation where everybody wins.
Mass Effect 3 actually did this well outside of galactic readiness. All the MP trophies had SP stuff you could also do to fulfill it. If Tomb Raider and Assassin's Creed games functioned the same way I'd have a lot more Platinum trophies to my name.
