Firstly, Uber Tristram is has absolutely no lore behind it. The whole quest has absolutely no explanation in the lore, and feels more like an out-of-proportion Easter egg.
Secondly, torches are waaaaaaay too strong. If you want new content to be interesting, you need to reward players with food gear, and this inevitably leads to power creep.
The Annihilus update was already a bit silly for the same reasons, but at least spawning Uber Diablo uses really nice and unique mechanics.
I agree with the torch being way too strong.
Lore wise though I could care less. I dont mind the Easter egg approach as long as its fun and gives you more of a challenge for playing through all the acts. I mean cmon dont tell me you dislike the cow level also because it's in Easter egg lol?
The story is over it ended after baal its not like we need more lore especially from the current developers who had nothing to do with the original creator of the game David brevick. Its not like they are going to be able to add something creative to the game they constantly prove that they are incapable of that.
If they can actually add more fun things to do that are challenging I think that's what most people want out of the game not more lore lol
