Have to be

Reading is hard. But it doesn’t have to be.
http://blog.cambridgecoaching.com/reading-is-hard.-but-it-doesnt-have-to-be
Please explain the use of "have to be". Why do we need "to be" in the above? What is its purpose in the original?

Would "has to be" equally correct? If not why?

Thank you in advance.
