2. By forcing people to play matchmaking if they want to play PvP, the matchmaking population is larger and allows for a better experience (more people = more even teams, shorter waits, etc). And since matchmaking and single player are supposed to complement each other (playing one to do well in the other), stronger matchmaking makes single player more valuable.

1. Halo 2 and 3 did fine in the matchmaking department despite custom games, and Destiny has even more players.
2. Only enable bounties, drops, and progression in matchmade PvP games. This way you still have your incentive to enter it.

Not rocket science.
