Inevitable or not, it happened. It happened because people made a series of inner circle discords (starting with the minecraft/terraria servers) and led to an "official" discord as a cure to the incredible drama that the inner circle discords were causing.
If anything, things are better in that respect because the current big discord has a lot less legitimacy than those that came before it. You can actually participate in the community without joining a discord now.
