For instance, it's a demiplane created by an enemy spellcaster and you have no way to get material from said plane. Eschew Materials would allow you to go there, whereas it's unlikely a DM would allow you to do so with just a spell component pouch. Yes, this is Rule 0, and yes, it goes against RAW of the pouch. It's still a point to be made, however.
Doesn't work. Eschew Materials only allows you to ignore material components. The tuning fork is a focus component.

Also, the tuning fork doesn't need to be made from something from the target plane. It just needs to be "A small, forked metal rod. The size and metal type dictates to which plane of existence or alternate dimension the spell sends the affected creatures." What metal corresponds to what plane is left to the DM, so that they have control over how easy or difficult it is to get the right tuning fork.
