Desperate times!! Despite all the promises of recruitment being fine and loads of applicants, this clearly proves that's not the case. more lies from the idiot management 
short flights long nights
I would say less than nil.

A primary reason for the change
Not a rumor nor heard it from my maid
The new requirements are aimed to attract certain applicants from certain airlines .. It benefits both EK And those airlines
To simplify it : Air Arabia - with a massive MPL program has reached a peak in training capability for the new comers
With massive numbers of highly trained FOs with excess of 1500 hours ( salary changes dramatically as you gain hours with the airlines) it was only smart to collaborate with EK
Many other low cost have tuned to the same method with EK / Unmentioned / QR

Oh NO
It's not surprising EK have to lower the hour minimums to attract pilots to EK given the recruitment competition of the other big ME carriers, the arrogant management stance of if you don't like it......leave and the total denial that there is a worldwide pilot shortage.
Less hours in a log book may not mean a lesser pilot in skills, but there usually are vetting processes along the long climb up the aviation career ladder!!
I wonder how long it will be before I fly with an early twenty something, ex Euro LCC, only to wake up from some much required inflight rest to discover them playing some rubbish game on their Ipad...........again!!!!
