I know Egypt is strict but this is jarring to me.

This is not correct. No one gets a bye at slams. You are thinking of ATP 1000 events which have byes for the top players as they run a 96 player field instead of 128

Aren't they referring to the qualifiers? Not necessarily a bye, but the super low ranked players do have to play extra games.

The top 104 get into the slams, the next 24 slots take place during a "qualifying" tournament.

So it's not that bad. But if you're ranked in the top 24, you get a to play someone who's played 3 extra matches over the previous week.
