No, not because he's more difficult. But because groups going in will

mostly blue and a few epics) in a position where they are ready for
Arch, but not Emalon. But there are no groups for that. So basically
you have to be ready for Emalon before you can do either boss now.

Emalon should have been put in a different raid...

Actually, once I get my prot warrior a tad better geared, I was figuring I might try forming groups for Archavon first runs, with the option of trying Emalon if it looks like we stand a chance. Unfortunately, I fear the players that would join such a run would be fresh 80's looking for free lootz.
But yes, overall, I agree it would have been a far better design to make them separate raids, rather than putting two very different skill/gear level bosses together.
